From Monday 2 June 2025 to Friday 6 June 2025, the section of the A904 between Middlefield Road and Earls Gate Roundabout will be closed overnight from 8pm to 6am.  
 
The closure will allow Balfour Beatty to safely install barriers on the A904 that will narrow the lanes but maintain two-way traffic from the Middlefield Road/Grangemouth Road junction to the West Mains Road/Falkirk Road junction. 
 
Drivers travelling on the A9 will not be impacted by the overnight closures and can continue to use the road in both directions as normal.

Access to West Mains Road and Laurieston Road will also be maintained throughout. 
 
Once traffic management is in place, both the A9 and A904 will be subject to lane narrowing at various points throughout the remainder of the A9/A904 Westfield Improvement Project.  
 
Road users are therefore urged to plan ahead and follow all signage to ensure safe journeys through the area. 

With further traffic management in place, it is essential that pedestrians continue to use the signed footpath diversions to ensure their safety, as walking on the carriageway poses a serious risk to both pedestrians and drivers. 

The temporary road narrowing is an essential part of the Council’s A9/A904 Westfield Improvement Project, a multi-million-pound investment that will transform the local road infrastructure to support future growth and development in the area.

Funded through the Council’s Tax Incremental Financing programme, with additional support from the UK government, the project aims to ease congestion, improve traffic flow, provide additional active travel routes, enhance safety, and make the area more accessible for businesses, residents and visitors.  

The entire project, including the new road and cycle network, is expected to be completed and fully operational by early 2027.
