A92 Cowdenbeath | Surfacing Improvements
The A92 at Cowdenbeath is set to benefit from a £618,000 road surfacing and barrier scheme that will deliver improvements to the carriageway.
Amey, on behalf of Transport Scotland, will carry out resurfacing on more than 950 metres of the A92 eastbound carriageway as well as installing barrier infrastructure between Sunday 28th April and Tuesday 14th May.
The improvements will be undertaken on the eastbound carriageway to the east of Cowdenbeath junction.
To ensure the safety of roadworkers and motorists the work is set to take place under lane closures from Sunday 28th April to Friday 3rd May, with a break for the bank holiday weekend, followed by further work under contraflow from Friday 10th May to Monday 13th May.
There will be lane closures in place between 7.30pm on Sunday 28th April and 6.30am on Friday 3rd May to carry out preparatory barrier works. This work on the road infrastructure will assist with any future road maintenance taking place in the area.
Resurfacing will then be carried out using a contraflow system between 7.30pm on Friday 10th May and 7.30pm on Monday 13th May.
Further overnight lane closures will be in place between 7.30pm and 6.30am on Monday 13th May to stand down the contraflow.
The Cowdenbeath junction eastbound A92 on slip road will be closed during the contraflow. Eastbound traffic will be diverted onto the westbound A92 carriageway to turn at Crossgates and return eastbound.
The Lochgelly junction eastbound A92 off slip road will also be closed during the contraflow. Traffic for Lochgelly will continue to Chapel Junction at Kirkcaldy, where they can turn to return westbound on the A92 and exit at the Lochgelly junction westbound off slip road.
The resurfacing will benefit more than 16,000 vehicles who use this route each day, creating a smoother ride for motorists and reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
