Chapel Level roadworks: this is when they start, speed limits, and roads closures

Fife Council is set to carry out the work at Chapel Level from Monday, March 24 to Friday, May 2. It will cover between the roundabouts at Broom Road and Hendry Road. To keep traffic flowing, the council plans to use lane closures; side road closures on Robert Adam Drive and Fair Isle Road; and there will be no right hand turn lanes. For the safety of road workers, speed limits will cut to 20mph during the works.

Access will be maintained for residents as well as access for emergency services at all times. Bus services will be affected by the works - further details at www.stagecoachbus.com.

Councillor Altany Craik, convener of the economy, tourism, strategic planning and transportation committee said: “We maintain over 2,400km of roads in Fife and we’re spending millions each year repairing and improving them. Our road network is vital to support economic development, inward investment, tourism, leisure and travel to work. Almost everyone in Fife uses our roads each day, which is why this type of maintenance work is essential.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and delay caused by these essential works, and we’ll try to keep disturbance to a minimum. Your patience and co-operation during this time is appreciated.”

The work forms part of a £400,000 investment in improving the road network in Kirkcaldy.
