Repairs to close bridge over A92 at Lochgelly for one week

Work on the Lochgelly Overbridge starts on Monday - and will be completed by Friday, January 22.

The project, around a kilometre south of Lochgelly, will involve teams replacing some of the deck expansion joints on the overbridge ensuring it continues to operate safely for years to come.

Motorists travelling eastbound will be diverted to Chapel Junction, and westbound traffic will be diverted to Cowdenbeath Junction.

The A92 will remain fully open throughout the project.
