A stretch of carriageway on the M9 motorway will be closed to traffic for three nights this week to allow for resurfacing works.
The M9 Junction 9 southbound on-slip will be shut between the hours of 10pm and 6am from Wednesday, August 2 to Saturday, August 5.
During periods of closure, a signed diversion route will be in place with traffic diverted via the M9 northbound carriageway to Junction 10, returning south to the M9 Junction 9, where they will be able to resume their journey.

This will add an estimated 12 minutes and 10.3 miles to affected journeys.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East network manager, said: “These surfacing improvements will significantly improve safety for motorists on this section of the M9.”
“Road closures are essential to ensure the safety of workers and road users, however, we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption and will do all we can to complete the project as quickly as possible.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
