Work is set to start on a busy Fife junction, and will last for a number of months, resulting in road closures.

Scottish Water is carrying out repairs to the sewer network beneath the carriageway on Moray Way South, Dalgety Bay.

Phase will see the road closed from April 27 until November, while a second phase will extend the closure to St Bridget]s Brae from July 13 for approximately four months. To minimise disruption to residents, a new temporary access road has been constructed through Jubilee Park, allowing local access to Inchview Gardens, St Bridget’s Brae and Dalgety Bay Primary School as the main diversion route is via Moray Way North.

A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, we have no other option than to close the junction to be able to carry out the work safely.

“This work is being phased to allow St Bridget’s Brae to remain open for as long as possible and we are giving as many people as much advance warning as possible so they can plan ahead, give themselves more time for journeys and not be surprised by any delays.

“We appreciate that this is a busy junction and inevitably there will be delays but we will work as quickly as conditions and safety allow to finish as soon as possible.

“We would like to thank everyone affected for their patience and understanding.”
