The M9 motorway ( English for 'M9 Motorway') is a main motorway in Scotland . It runs from Edinburgh's outskirts to Dunblane . It affects the places Linlithgow , Falkirk , Grangemouth and Stirling .

Description of the route

The road is approximately 33 miles or 53 kilometers long and branches off the M8 in a north-westerly direction at Ratho, near Edinburgh . After the junction of the A8 at Newbridge , the motorway slip road to the Forth Road Bridge follows . This was only half completed before 2008 and two miles before the bridge the traffic switched to the congested A8000. The extension of the feeder road to the A90 expressway adjoining the bridge was completed in 2008.

For one mile, the M876 to the Kincardine Bridge runs on the same route. The M80 joins just before Stirling . The M9 ends at the roundabout near Dunblane, from there the A9 continues to Thurso at the north end of Scotland.
