For the safety of roadworkers as well as motorists, a contraflow system of traffic management will be in place on the A92 between Lochgelly and Cowdenbeath during the project.

The A92 Cowdenbeath southbound off-slip will be closed throughout the weekend for safety with traffic diverted via Crossgates Roundabout.

Consultation has taken place with locals in advance of the resurfacing project to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.

Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s North East Representative, said: “This major £535,000 resurfacing project between Lochgelly and Cowdenbeath is the next phase in a series of improvement works that have been carried out along the A92 in recent years, and has been designed to create a smoother and safer journey for motorists.

“The resurfacing has been scheduled to take place over one weekend to minimise the overall impact to road users, however we encourage motorists to plan their journeys in advance and allow some extra time to reach their destination.”
