A WEST Fife road is set to close overnight this week to allow for resurfacing work to take place.

The work will be carried out on the A985 West of Limekilns on Thursday, Friday and Monday (March 23, 24 and 27) from 7pm until 6.30am.

No works will take place over the weekend.

During these hours, the A985 will be closed with a signed diversion route in place via Cairneyhill roundabout and Kings Road roundabout and then on to the A944, A907, Carnegie Drive, St Margarets Drive, A823, Pitreavie Roundabout and B980 before re-joining the A985 at Kings Road roundabout.

All work is weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s Southeast Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements will address and repair defects in the road surface such as potholes and cracks, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.

“It is essential for the safety of the workforce that we close the carriageway during these works, however, we’ve scheduled this during overnight hours to minimise any disruption.

“We thank motorists in advance for their patience while our teams carry out these improvements.”

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website www.trafficscotland.org for up-to-date travel information and allowing extra time for their journey.
