Essential Maintenance on A9 at Keir Roundabout near Dunblane

A section of the A9 trunk road at Keir Roundabout near Dunblane is set to benefit from a project delivering road surfacing improvements worth more than £380,000.

Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, is undertaking essential maintenance on the road from Friday 28th October until Tuesday 1st November.

The project will involve teams carrying out surface improvements to a section of the northbound carriageway immediately north of the roundabout, a section of the southbound approach and part of the Keir Roundabout circulatory.

To allow these works to be carried out in a safe and efficient manner for the workforce and motorists, traffic restrictions will be in place on the network in two separate phases.

Phase One: A full weekend contraflow will be in operation between 8pm on Friday 28th until 6am on Monday 31st October.

Phase Two: An overnight closure of the southbound approach and a section of the roundabout between 10pm on Monday 31st October until 6am on Tuesday 1st November.

The planned road closures/diversions that will be in place are as follows:

Phase One

During the contraflow, southbound traffic will be able to join Keir Roundabout from the B8033, and exit onto the B8033, A9 (non-trunk) and M9.
Northbound traffic will not be able to access the A9 (non-trunk) or B8033 exits.
The B824 exit will be completely closed during this phase of works.
A9 (non trunk) traffic from Bridge of Allan will not be able to join the A9 from Keir Roundabout and will be diverted during this phase.

The following diversions will be in place:

Traffic from Dunblane for the A9 (trunk) northbound should take the B8033 and A820 to join the A9 at Stockbridge Junction.
Traffic destined for the B824 can continue on the A820 before turning left onto the B824 signed for Bridge of Allan.
Traffic from the M9 for the B824 should continue north through the contraflow and take the A820 at Stockbridge Junction towards Doune and then turn left onto the B824 signed for Bridge of Allan.
Traffic from the B824 for Keir Roundabout all exits should travel north and turn right onto the A820, and then join the A9 northbound at Stockbridge Junction. Alternatively they can continue into Dunblane and then follow the B8033 to join Keir Roundabout southbound for the A9 (non-trunk) and the M9.
Traffic from the M9 for Dunblane should continue through the contraflow and take the A820 at Stockbridge Junction.
Traffic from the M9 for Bridge of Allan should exit at M9 Junction 10.
Traffic from the A9 (non-trunk) from Bridge of Allan should head south and take the A907 Alloa Road to the A91, taking the third exit at the roundabout towards Stirling. They can then take the third exit at Millhall Roundabout onto the A905 towards Stirling before rejoining the A9 (non-trunk) Burghmuir Road and then following the A84 (Drip Road, Back o’ Hill Road) to Kildean Roundabout. Motorway traffic may join the M9 northbound at Junction 10, and non-motorway traffic may continue on the A84 to Doune and then turn right onto the A820 towards Dunblane.

Phase Two

During the overnight closure, the exits for the A9 (non-trunk), M9 and B824 will remain open. Traffic can join Keir Roundabout from the B8033 and A9 (non trunk).

The following diversions will be in place:

Southbound traffic from the A9 (trunk) should leave at Stockbridge Junction and follow the A820 to Doune before taking the A84 southbound to the M9 Junction 10. Motorway traffic will have access to the M9 and non-motorway traffic will have access to the A84/Stirling.
Northbound traffic from the A9 (trunk) wishing to access Dunblane will be diverted to Stockbridge to access Dunblane via the A820. Traffic may follow the B8033 through Dunblane to return to Keir Roundabout and continue on the A9 (non trunk) to Bridge of Allan.
