40 for supporting the ambitious road and infrastructure upgrades that will follow .
From autumn 2024 through spring 2026 , traffic on the A904 will be reduced to one lane in each direction as newly constructed sections of the road are integrated with the existing carriageway . Once the new carriageway is operational , upgrades to the original road will continue until early 2027 .
Similar work on the A9 will see lane reductions during construction of a new carriageway and roundabout at the Gateway site , ensuring that disruptions are managed efficiently while maintaining progress .
A centrepiece of the redevelopment will be a new roundabout at Westmains Industrial Estate and an upgraded junction at Laurieston Road . These elements , scheduled for completion by early 2027 , aim to improve traffic flow and accessibility , supporting both local residents and the anticipated influx of visitors to the regenerated area .
Graeme Dickie , Operations Director at Balfour Beatty , said : “ By enhancing the roads in Falkirk , the project will enable future development opportunities in the area ; boosting the local economy and delivering lasting benefits for generations to come .”
