BEAR Scotland are set to begin £450,000 worth of resurfacing works on the M9 northbound, near Linlithgow Loch.

The project will begin at 19:30 on Friday 23 July and is planned to take place over one weekend using 24-hour working, with all work to be completed by 06:00 on Monday 26 July.

For the safety of road workers and motorists, a contraflow traffic management system will be in place during these works, with traffic restricted to a single lane in each direction.

Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.

Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland's South East Network Manager, said: "These £450,000 surfacing improvements near Stirling will address and repair defects in the road surface, such as potholes or cracks, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.

"The planned traffic management is essential to ensure the safety of road workers and motorists. To help minimise delays, we've planned the resurfacing to take place over one weekend using 24-hour working. By working continuously, disruption to the traveling public will be minimised.

"We thank motorists in advance for their patience while our teams carry out these improvements."
