These bus services will be disrupted by resurfacing work on busy Fife road

Workmen are due on site on Monday (September 16) for around two weeks, and resurfacing will be done in two phases.

Phase One will run from September 16-20, and will cover from the recycling centre in Kennoway Road to Station Road and Leven Road in front of Rolland Buildings.

During this time, Leven Road will be closed and access to Windygates and Kennoway will be from Milton Road only. Resident access will be maintained to the Leven Road area only. During Leven Road's closure there will be two bus stops out of use on Leven Road. Passengers should use stops on Milton Road.

Services 43, 43A, 41, 41A, 48, 49, M4, M4A and M4B will divert via Milton Road, A911 then back onto normal route. Services 44, 44A and 44B will be unable to serve Windygates. Passengers can use other services for Glenrothes or Leven or use the bus stops at Cameronbridge Distillery.

Phase two, from September 23-27 will be from the recycling centre in Kennoway Road to Station Road and Milton Road to west of Haughmill Lane. During this phase a section of Milton Road will be closed and access to Kennoway will be via Leven Road only. Resident access will be maintained when works permit.

During Milton Road's closure there will be six bus stops out of use on Milton Road. Passengers should use stops on Leven Road.

Services 43 and 43A will divert via Leven Road, A911. Services 44, 44A and 44B will be unable to serve Windygates. Passengers can use other services for Glenrothes or Leven or use the bus stops at Cameronbridge Distillery.

The footpath beside the works will remain open and we’ll maintain access for emergency services.

Councillor Altany Craik, roads spokesperson said: “We maintain over 2,400km of roads in Fife and we’re spending millions each year repairing and improving them. Our road network is vital to support economic development, inward investment, tourism, leisure and travel to work. Almost everyone in Fife uses our roads each day, which is why this type of maintenance work is essential.”

Leven Academy’s school bus service LA6 will be unaffected and will be escorted through the works each day. Notices will be placed at bus stops affected by the works indicating where the nearest bus stop is.

Cllr Craik added: “We apologise for any inconvenience and delay caused by these essential works, and we’ll try to keep any disturbance to a minimum. Your patience and co-operation during this time is appreciated.”
