Two sections of the M9 motorway near Plean, Stirling, are to close for three nights each from next week to allow for road resurfacing works to be carried out.
BEAR Scotland, Transport Scotland’s operating company, will close two sections of the M9 overnight to carry out resurfacing works that will create smoother and safer journeys for motorists.
The Junction 9 southbound off-slip, near Plean, will be closed for three nights of resurfacing works beginning on Wednesday, November 13, between the hours of 7.30pm and 6am.
A signed diversion route will be in place for traffic exiting the M9 at Junction 9. The route will guide traffic along the M9 and M876, turning at M876 Junction 3 (Bowtrees) and returning to the M9 at Junction 9 northbound off-slip. This diversion will add approximately 15 minutes and 14.5 miles to journey times.
The M9 southbound carriageway between Junction 9 and Junction 8 will also be closed for three nights of resurfacing works beginning Monday, November 18, between 7.30pm and 6am.

The diversion route will be in place for traffic travelling between Junctions 9 and 8 on the M9, via the A91, A9, M876 Junction 2 eastbound on-slip, and onto the M876. This diversion will add approximately eight minutes and 2.1 miles to the journey.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “It’s essential for safety that we close these sections of carriageway while resurfacing takes 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.
