During daytime hours, two lanes in each direction will remain open on the M9, with traffic running on the hard shoulder and lane one. The speed limit through the works will be reduced to 50mph at all times to ensure the safety of the workforce. These restrictions will continue until the end of November 2022.
Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland's South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: "These upgrades will provide improved protection for the piers supporting three bridges over the M9.
"We thank road users in advance for their patience. We ask them to plan ahead and allow some extra time for their journey if they need to travel on the M9 during these works."
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders including local authorities and Police Scotland in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
Live traffic information is available from the Traffic Scotland website and Twitter account.
