M876 Junction 1 | Resurfacing
This page has been archived. For information on live or future events and roadworks view our travel news.
UPDATE (18/03/25): Please note a change to start date of this scheme. It is now set to start a day later than originally planned. The works will now start on the evening of Wednesday 26 March and finish on Friday 28 March 2025.
The M876 eastbound carriageway between M80 Junction 8 Bankhead and M876 Junction 2 North Broomage will be closed for resurfacing between 19:30 and 06:00 on the nights of Tuesday 25, Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 March.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will use these closures to renew the carriageway at three locations around Junction 1, near Denny.
A signed diversion route will be in place from M80 Junction 8 Bankhead, via the M80 northbound to Junction 9 Bannockburn Interchange, then the M9 southbound to Junction 7, where they can join the M876 eastbound and return westbound from Bowtrees Interchange if desired. This diversion will add approximately 10.9 miles and 12 minutes to affected journeys.
Local traffic will be able to join the M876 eastbound at Junction 2 North Broomage.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to make them aware of the plans in advance.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “We thank road users and the local community in advance for their patience while we carry out these resurfacing improvements.
“It is essential for the safety of workers and road users that we close the M876 eastbound carriageway during the works, however we’ve planned them to take place overnight to minimise disruption.
“If you need to use this route on these nights, our advice is to plan ahead and allow some extra time for your journey.’’
