Sliproadwill shutforwork tocleardebris

The northbound slip road from the A84 onto M9 Junction 10 will be closed on Sunday, April 24, from 6am to 3pm.

The closure is to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to remove watercourse debris that is trapped against the bridge that carries the motorway over the River Forth.

Traffic wishing to join the M9 northbound from the A84 will be directed onto the M9 southbound to turn at M9 Junction 9 Pirnhall Roundabout.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s network manager for South East Scotland, said:“it is essential to close this slip road on April 24 to allow safe access to remove trapped debris at the M9 River Forth Bridge.

“The debris will be removed using rope access and cranes, so we’ve scheduled the works during the day for the safety of our operatives.

“Motorists planning to use this route on April 24 should plan ahead and allow some extra time for their journey.”

All work is weather dependent and may be cancelled or postponed in the event of adverse conditions.
