Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out overnight resurfacing works across five locations on the A985 between 18 August and 25 August 2025.

Closures will be in place at each location while works are taking place between the hours of 19:30 and 06:30. Signed diversion routes will be in place for each stage of the project.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements on the A985 will create safer and smoother journeys for motorists.

“It is essential for safety that we close the carriageway during these works, however we’ve scheduled them to be carried out during overnight hours to minimise any disruption. We thank road users in advance for their patience while our teams carry out these improvements.”

Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.
