Port of Grangemouth: approach roads and traffic

Port of Grangemouth (GRG) is one of the 28 ports UK Live Traffic watches. It handles container ships and bulk cargo ships. The live map shows the ships arriving, alongside and leaving; this page is about the roads.

Its traffic joins the main roads at M8 J2 (40%), M876 J8 (30%) and M9 / Glensburgh Road (30%). Container and bulk terminals send their lorries out all day, so no single ship moves the roads, and the page shows the usual traffic on the approach roads instead.
