B817 (Bonnybridge - Larbert)

This article is about the former B817 near Falkirk.
For the current B817 through Alness and Invergordon, see B817.

The A8004 (former B817)

The 1922 Road Lists state that the B817 ran from Bonnybridge to Larbert. It started on the A803 in Bonnybridge and headed northeast along Larbert Road. After a short multiplex eastwards with the B818 (now A883) it crossed the River Carron on Dunipace Bridge and turned sharp right to run along Denny Road into Larbert and so end on the A9, opposite the B905.

The 1946 Ten-Mile Map shows the road as both trunk and numbered B817, so it is not surprising that it was shortly renumbered as part of the A876. In more recent years the construction of the M876 has bypassed the road. The northern half is now an out-of-zone extension of the B905 to Checkbar. The southern half is mostly unclassified, except for a short link onto the southbound M876 at J1 which is the A8004.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Bonnybridge - Larbert
