The M876 motorway is a motorway in Scotland. The motorway runs from Denny to Airth in the Falkirk council area, forming an approach road to the Kincardine Bridge. It was opened in 1980.
The road is Template:Convert long. It begins by turning off junction 8 (formerly junction 5 until 2011) of the M80 and bypasses Falkirk and Stenhousemuir. It is one of only three motorways in the UK which form a concurrency with another motorway, the M9, which it then leaves again and continues for Template:Convert before becoming the A876.<ref>Headline Projects | Transport Scotland Template:Webarchive</ref>
The original Kincardine Bridge was supplemented in 2008 by a second bridge, the Clackmannanshire Bridge, for traffic towards Alloa. As part of the works, the terminal Bowtrees Roundabout was replaced with a grade separated junction, and the A876 beyond the junction was upgraded to dual carriageway standard.
