M9 northbound traffic will be reduced to a single lane approx 1km before reaching the M7 and then M9 traffic will merge with the M7 from the existing M9 right hand lane.
This arrangement will facilitate the ongoing construction of the new lane in the centre of the M7 carriageway. Once traffic has been moved onto the new surface works will continue to the adjacent verge/hard shoulder areas which will include for the tie in of new M9 merge arrangement.
A minimum of two lanes will be maintained on the M7 carriageway during peak hours of 06.00hrs to 22.00hrs at all times. The Emergency Lane will be retained on both carriageways within the works areas as far as practicable.
