Access for emergency services and pedestrians will be maintained throughout the work programme.

Councillor Altany Craik, convener of the Economy, Tourism, Strategic Planning and Transportation committee, said:“We apologise for any inconvenience and delay caused by these essential works, and we will try to keep any disturbance to a minimum.

“Your patience and co-operation during this time is greatly appreciated.

“To carry out the works safely the road will be closed from Monday until completion.”

There will be one daily BW6 school bus service leaving Aberdour at 8.17am which will be allowed through the closure going to Kirkcaldy in the morning but will follow the diversion route on the return from Kirkcaldy to Aberdour in the afternoon.
