OVERNIGHT GANTRY REPAIRS ON M9 AND M90

September 5, 2022

UPDATE: Works scheduled for Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 September have been POSTPONED and will be rescheduled for a future date.

  • Seventeen nights of gantry repairs planned for September 2022

  • Various overnight carriageway, lane and slip road closures required

Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland is to undertake a programme of repairs to overhead gantry sign panels on the M9 and M90 during September.

A series of overnight motorway or slip road closures are required to allow safe access for operatives to the gantries spanning over the carriageway in each location.  These closures will typically be in place between the hours of 20:00 and 06:00 each weeknight over a three-week period.

Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland’s South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: “The programme of repairs to overhead gantries on the M9 and M90 has been carefully planned to minimise their impact on the travelling public.

“We always avoid closing roads wherever it is safe and practical to do so, however the specific locations of these overhead gantries are such that motorway and slip road closures are necessary for the safety of our operatives and motorists.

“We’ve scheduled the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption and we thank motorists in advance for their patience and understanding. “

The works are weather dependent and so could be postponed and rearranged at short notice if high winds are forecast.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders including local authorities and Police Scotland in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.

The three-week repair programme is detailed below:
