M80 Junction 9 | Bridge Works

The southbound carriageway of the M80 will be closed at Junction 9 Pirnhall between 20:00 and 06:00 on the night of Friday 11 October, to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to remove temporary safety barriers that have been in place to allow parapet replacement works on two bridges carrying the motorway.
A signed diversion route for southbound traffic will be in place via the slip road to Pirnhall Roundabout, from where road users can continue onto the M80 via the southbound on-slip. This will add an estimated 0.4 miles and 1 minute to affected journeys.
David Bishop, BEAR Scotland Unit Bridges Manager, said: “It’s essential for the safety of road users and our workforce that we close the M80 southbound carriageway while we carry out these works.
“Closures will only be in place at night and the diversion is a short one, so we don’t expect this to cause any significant delays.”
Relevant stakeholders including emergency services have been consulted in advance to make them aware of the works.
