Update 04 July 2025: Due to poor weather conditions, resurfacing works on the M876 near junction 2 eastbound on-slip near Larbert will now begin Monday 7 July. Please see new dates below.
BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, will resurface a section of the eastbound M876 motorway between Junction 2 North Broomage and the M876/M9 merge (M9 Junction 8).
To allow the works to be carried out safely, the carriageway will be closed between the hours of 19:30 and 06:00, for five nights, from Monday 7 to Thursday 10 July.
A signed diversion route will be in place for eastbound traffic from Junction 2, via the A88 and A905. Traffic will rejoin the M876 at Junction 3 (Bowtrees) and continue to M9 Junction 7 to resume their journey. This diversion will add approximately 6 minutes and 2.6 miles to affected journeys.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South-East Network Manager, said: “It is essential for the safety of road users and our teams to close these sections of carriageway while resurfacing take place.”
“We’ve scheduled the works at night to minimise disruption, however we appreciate that this will cause delays for some people and thank the public in advance for their patience and understanding.”
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
All works are weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.
Real time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland at www.traffic.gov.scot, or on X at @trafficscotland.
