Road users are instructed to use diversion routes via Kincardine and the Clackmannanshire Bridge before a single lane closure will resume on the Kincardine Bridge tomorrow morning.
The work is part of an ongoing refurbishment programme of the bridge and includes the replacement of road surfracing, bridge deck waterproofing and new expansion joints.
To date, 15 joint-to-joint spans of the structure have been refurbished, costing more than £2.3 million since 2015.
