A BUSY Clacks roundabout will be closed for a period of two nights due to resurfacing works.

Sections of the A977 Gartarry Roundabout will be shut off, to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to carry out works on the carriageway.

The southern section of the roundabout will be closed between the hours of 7.30pm and 6.30am on Wednesday, September 25.

This will ensure there is no access to or from Clackmannan Road or the A977 to the south.

A signed diversion will be in place between the Gartarry Roundabout and the A876, via the A907 west through Alloa, the A91 and the A905 to Bowtrees Junction.

On Thursday, September 26, the northern section of the roundabout will be closed between the same hours, with no access to or from Clackmannan Road or the A977 to the north.

A signed diversion will be in place between Gartarry Roundabout and the A977 to the north, via the A907, the A91 and the B913.

Tommy Deans, south east network manager for BEAR Scotland, said: “These surfacing improvements will address and repair defects in the road surface such as potholes and cracking, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.

“It is essential for the safety of the workforce that we close the carriageway during these works, however we’ve scheduled them during overnight hours to minimise any disruption.

“We thank motorists in advance for their patience and understanding.”
