BEAR Scotland, acting on behalf of Transport Scotland, are planning to carry out essential works on the Southbound M9 Motorway, between junction 11 and junction 10. The resurfacing improvements will address existing defects within the carriageway, ensuring the integrity and safety of the motorway network at this location.
To ensure the safety of the workforce and members of the travelling public, it is necessary to close M9 southbound carriageway from junction 11 – junction 10, during works. The works have been provisionally programmed to commence on Monday 24th November 2025 for a duration of 4 nights between the hours of 19:30 and 06:00.
During this period of closure, a signed diversion route will be in place for the southbound traffic wishing to utilise the M9. The diversion route will exit the M9 via junction 11, onto the A9 (through Bridge of Allan on Henderson St) until the Airthey Roundabout. At the roundabout take the first exit, follow the road until the Causewayhead roundabout then take the second exit onto Alloa road. Stay on Alloa road until the Manor Powis roundabout and take the third exit onto the A91. Follow the A91 until the Stirling services roundabout and rejoin M9. Please find attached diversion drawing for clarity.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times and all traffic management will be removed out with working hours.
If you require any further information any of the proposed works please do not hesitate to contact SEConsultationroads@bearscotland.co.uk.

Tree Monitoring and Planting Prep Volunteer Day, Fri 28 November, 10am-3pm
During this volunteer day we will be monitoring trees planted as part of a project with the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh. This will involve weeding around the trees, checking the condition of the tree and recording if the trees are dead / alive and measuring their height etc. We will also be preparing some planting spots that will be used when local primary school pupils come to plant trees the following week. This would involve using spades and mattocks to remove the grass and loosen the soil. The volunteer day will run from 10am-3pm and the day will involve manual handling, tool use and walking on rough, uneven ground. If you would like to come along, please visit our website for more information and to sign up: edin.ac/fpp-volunteer
These will be our last activities for the year and volunteering will resume towards the end of winter / early spring. We will have lots more volunteer days in 2026 including tree planting, biodiversity surveys, path maintenance and wildflower planting. If you have any questions, just get in touch.
