A985 Kincardine Bridge | Overnight Maintenance Works
The A985 trunk road over the Kincardine Bridge will be closed in both directions between Higgins Neuk Roundabout and Longannet Roundabout from 19:30 until 06:00 on the nights of 27 and 28 September.
This is to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to carry out essential cyclic maintenance tasks safely.
A diversion route will be signposted over the Clackmannanshire Bridge via the A876 and the A977, adding approximately 3.8 miles and up to 8 minutes to affected journeys.
Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
The bridge will remain open for pedestrians and cyclists.
Relevant stakeholders have been consulted in advance to make them aware of the works.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “It’s necessary to close the Kincardine Bridge to carry out these maintenance tasks safely, however the diversion is relatively short and the works will take place at night.
“If you do need to travel on this route on the nights of 27 or 28 September, our advice is to allow a few extra minutes for your journey.”
All works are weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.
