A section of the M9 Southbound after Junction 4 at Polmont is set to benefit from an improved road surface, with five nights of resurfacing works scheduled to begin on Thursday 1 September 2022.
Thanks to a £295,000 investment from Transport Scotland, operating company BEAR Scotland will renew approximately one kilometre of the trunk road, creating smoother and safer journeys for motorists.
To ensure the safety of workers and road users, Junction 3 to Junction 5 on the M9 Southbound will be closed from 19:30 until 06:00 between 1-2 September and 5-7 September. To minimise disruption, no work will take place on weekends.
The M9 Junction 4 Southbound on-slip will also be closed on these nights and traffic will be diverted to Junction 5 on the M9.
A diversion route for southbound traffic will be signposted via Junction 5, A905, A904, A993, A904 and the A803 before re-joining the M9 southbound at Junction 3, adding an estimated nine minutes and 1.3 miles to affected journeys.
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.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements will significantly improve safety for motorists on this section of the M9.
“Road closures are essential to ensure the safety of workers and road users, however we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption and will do all we can to complete the project as quickly as possible.”
