Drivers warned of overnight roadworks on A92

There will be a 10mph speed restriction in place during the works

Motorists are advised essential maintenance will take place on the A92 southbound carriageway in the Kirkcaldy area from Sunday night.

The essential work on the stretch between Redhouse Roundabout and Kirkcaldy West (Chapel) junction, is to be completed over five nights, with surfacing expected to be completed by 6.30am on Friday, June 26.

A 10mph system will be in place between 7.30pm and 6.30am each night for the safety of roadworkers and motorists.

The A92 Chapel southbound off-slip will also be closed overnight on June 23 and 24, with a signed diversion in place directing traffic via the A92 southbound to Lochgelly junction and then back on the A92 northbound to Chapel junction.

All traffic management will be removed during the day.

Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s north east representative, said: “The safety of our employees and our supply chain remains a top priority at this difficult time, and all personnel will be subject to strict physical distancing protocols in line with Scottish Government guidance to ensure they are kept safe.

“Thorough risk assessments have been developed and cleansing stations will be implemented on site to ensure all staff remain safe.

“These surfacing improvements on the A92 have been prioritised and identified as an essential project to ensure that the route remains safe and reliable for key workers, deliveries and those making essential journeys.

“As always we’ll do all we can to ensure that this project is completed as quickly and as safely as possible.”
