The eastbound carriageway of the A876 from Bowtrees Junction to Higgins Neuk Roundabout will be closed between 20:00 and 06:00 on the nights of Monday 4 August to Thursday 7 August, to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to carry out improvements to road markings and signage.
A diversion route suitable for trunk road traffic will be signposted from Bowtrees Roundabout to Gartarry Roundabout on the A977 via the A905, M876, M9, A91 and A907, adding an estimated 19.3 miles and 28 minutes to affected journeys.
Consultation has taken place with relevant stakeholders in advance of these works to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements and minimise any inconvenience.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These road marking and signage improvements on the A876 will improve safety for motorists on this section of the trunk road network.
“It is essential for safety that we close the carriageway, however we’ve scheduled the works during overnight hours to minimise any disruption.
“We thank road users in advance for their patience while our teams carry out these improvements.”
