CARRIAGEWAY REPAIRS ON THE A985 SOUTHBOUND PRIOR TO HIGGINS NEUK ROUNDABOUT

March 31, 2026

  • Carriageway closure in early hours of Wednesday 8 April 2026

The southbound carriageway of the A985 over the Kincardine Bridge will be closed from 00:30 until 06:00 in the early hours of Wednesday 8 April, to allow defects in the road surface to be repaired.

A diversion route will be signposted from Longannet Roundabout via the A977 and A876 over the Clackmannashire Bridge, adding approximately 3.8 miles and 6 minutes to affected journeys.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.

Relevant stakeholders have been consulted in advance to make them aware of the works.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “We need to close the carriageway to allow our operatives to repair the carriageway safely.

“We’ll do this late at night to minimise the impact. If you do need to travel on this route, our advice is to allow a few extra minutes for your journey.”

Live traffic information is available from Traffic Scotland at www.traffic.gov.scot or on X at @trafficscotland.

All works are weather dependent and subject to postponement in the event of adverse conditions.
