A977 KILBAGIE TO GARTARRY ROAD WIDENING

September 29, 2022

  • Overnight traffic lights and occasional road closures over eight weeks

  • Works commence Monday 17 October 2022

The A977 north of Kincardine is set for an upgrade, with Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland planning to widen the northbound side of the road over eight weeks, beginning on Monday 17 October.

For the safety of road users and the workforce, temporary traffic lights will be in place on the A977 between Kilbagie Roundabout and Gartarry Roundabout between 19:30 and 06:30 each weekday night from Monday 17 October until Monday 12 December.

Occasional overnight closures will also be required, with a diversion route signposted. These closures will be advertised when dates are confirmed.

No work is scheduled for Saturday or Sunday nights.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “This road widening scheme will reduce queuing and congestion around Kilbagie and Gartarry Roundabouts during peak times.

“It will be necessary to close one lane of the A977 each weekday night during the works, with temporary traffic lights in place. Occasional overnight full closures of the road will also be required, and these will be advertised when dates are confirmed.

“We’re grateful to road users and local communities for their patience and understanding. We’ll do all we can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.”

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead before setting out by checking the Traffic Scotland website www.trafficscotland.org for up-to-date travel information and allowing extra time for their journey.

All work is weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.
