Overnight carriageway closure may cause delays for Falkirk area drivers
Investigation works will close the M80 northbound carriageway for one night.
The carriageway between the slip roads at Junction 9, Bannockburn Interchange, will be closed on Friday, October 2 from 7.30pm to 6am as works are carried out.
BEAR Scotland will be undertaking coring investigation works ahead of future resurfacing.
Northbound traffic looking to continue to the M9 during the works will be diverted off the motorway onto Bannockburn Roundabout before rejoining via the M9 northbound on-slip.
The diversion will add roughly two minutes to affected journeys, extending travels by 1.7 miles.
Emergency vehicle access will be maintained throughout the works, and a consultation has been carried out with emergency services and the relevant stakeholders in advance of the project.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s south east network manager, said: “These works are to let us investigate the condition of the road surface in advance of future resurfacing.
“An overnight carriageway closure is essential for the safety of motorists and the workforce, however we’ll do this at night and the diversion is short one.
“We’re grateful to road users for their understanding.”
