Falkirk area motorists may face delays with overnight closures hitting M9
Works on the M9 will cause overnight closures starting on Tuesday, September 15.
The road will close between Junctions 9 and 11 as works to the bridge which carries the M9 across the River Forth begin.
BEAR Scotland will carry out the works to the bridge which consist of replacing joints and resurfacing a section of the road stretching from Junctions 10 to 11. The overnight closures will be in place from 8.30pm to 6am.
From September 15 to 21 and October 11 to 18, the M9 northbound between Junctions 9 and 11 will be closed. From September 22 to 27 and October 19 to 27, the M9 southbound from Junctions 11 to 9 will close.
Diverted northbound traffic will exit the M9 at Junction 9 on to the A91 to Manor Powis Roundabout, where they will join the A907 Alloa Road leading to Causewayhead Roundabout, move to the A9 Airthrey Road and Henderson Street then re-join the M9 at Junction 11.
Southbound traffic will be diverted to the A9 at Keir Roundabout, through Bridge of Allan before exiting on to the A907 Alloa Road to Manor Powis Roundabout, then the A91 to M9 Junction 9.
David Bishop, BEAR Scotland’s south east unit bridges manager, said: “The works have been planned to minimise disruption to road users as far as possible, which is why they’re being done overnight, however some delays are to be expected.”
