July 21, 2021

  • Overnight works begin Tuesday 27 July 2021

Overnight works to renew the road surface on the A985 in Rosyth will take place on Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 July 2021 between 20:00 and 05:00 each night.

Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the project.

For the safety of road workers and motorists, Admiralty Road will be closed during the works. between Kings Road Roundabout and Hilton Road, as will Brankholm Brae past Unwin Avenue.

A signed diversion route will be in place directing traffic around the works between Kings Road Roundabout and Cairneyhill Roundabout via the B980, A823, A907 and A994. This will add an estimated nine minutes to affected journeys.

All traffic management will be removed during the daytime.

Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and to minimise any inconvenience.

Materials removed from the existing carriageway will be recycled using SEPA approved methods.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These surfacing improvements to Brankholm Roundabout on the A985 in Rosyth will improve the road surface at this location, creating safer and smoother journeys for motorists.

“It is essential for the safety of road workers and motorists that we close the carriageway during these works, however we’ve scheduled them overnight in order to minimise any disruption.

“We thank motorists in advance for their patience while our teams carry out these improvements.”

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.
