BEAR Scotland have announced road surface improvement works for the M9 southbound at Junction 10 Craigforth, planned for the night of Friday 18 February.

For the safety of workers and road users, the M9 southbound will be closed during these works from 19:30 until 06:00 between Junction 11 Keir Roundabout and Junction 9 Pirnhall.

A diversion route for southbound traffic will be signposted from Junction 11 Keir Roundabout, via the A9, A907, A91 and A9, before re-joining the M9 southbound at Junction 9. This diversion will add an estimated 9 minutes and 1.2 miles to affected journeys.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Consultation has been carried out with 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 and ride quality for motorists on this section of the M9.

"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."
