MOTORISTS are being warned to expect disruption when overnight roadworks begin on the A92 at Crossgates next week.

Resurfacing work will be taking place from Monday at 7.30pm until 6.30am and continue for four nights, finishing on Friday morning.

For safety, a 10mph convoy system will be in place each night during working hours. Due to the location of the work, the southbound A92 Crossgates off-slip will be closed and a signed diversion will be in place for motorists.

Local traffic for Crossgates will be diverted off the A92 at Cowdenbeath, left along the A909 to the Mossmorran roundabout, third exit along the B925, turning right at the bottom of Springhill Brae, left at the traffic lights onto Dunfermline road and back to the Crossgates Roundabout.

The work is part of a £200,000 resurfacing project which will begin tomorrow (Thursday) evening with the resurfacing of the A92 northbound Lochgelly on-slip.

Consultation has taken place with the Local Authority and emergency services in advance of the resurfacing projects to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.

Andy Thompson, from BEAR Scotland, said: “These works will repair a number of cracks, potholes and other issues which will improve the general condition and safety of the slip road for motorists.

“The resurfacing has been scheduled to take place overnight to minimise delays, however, we encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
