M9 Various Locations | Overnight Maintenance
UPDATE 29 September 2025: The remainder of these overnight maintenance works on the M9 have been postponed to allow Falkirk Council to carry out resurfacing works at Cadgers Brae Roundabout. A revised programme will be published in due course.
A phased programme of overnight lane and carriageway closures will be in place on the M9 from the evening of 1 September until the morning of 15 October, to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to carry out a variety of routine maintenance tasks.
Works to be carried out include grass cutting, drainage cleaning, sign cleaning, detailed inspections and road sweeping.
Dates, locations and diversion routes for closures are listed in the table below.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and other relevant stakeholders to share information about the works in advance.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “We’ll be taking advantage of these overnight closures on the M9 to carry out as many routine maintenance tasks as possible, reducing the overall need for closures and traffic management.
“It is essential for the safety of the workforce that we close the carriageway while work is taking place. Our advice if you need to use the M9 at night during this period is to plan ahead and allow a few extra minutes for your journey.
“We’re grateful to road users and the local community for their understanding.”
