The A985 will be closed in both directions between Kincardine Bridge and Longannet Roundabout from 20:00 until 06:00 on the nights of 10, 11, and 12 November.
This is to allow Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland to carry out finishing works on approximately 2.1 kilometres of the trunk road that was resurfaced during October. Road markings will be renewed, and new traffic counting equipment and ice sensors will be installed.
A diversion route suitable for trunk road traffic will be signposted between Clackmannanshire Bridge and Cairneyhill Roundabout via the A876 and the A977, adding an estimated 5 minutes and 3.7 miles to affected journeys.
Local access will be maintained during the works, with road users escorted through the site when it is safe to do so. Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
Strict physical distancing protocols, in line with Scottish Government guidance, are in place to protect teams and ensure they remain safe on site.
Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the project in advance.
Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s South East Network Manager, said: “These finishing works will enhance the safety of motorists using this section of the A985.
“Overnight road closures are essential to ensure the safety of workers and road users, however we’ve planned the works to take place overnight to minimise disruption.
“We thank motorists in advance for their patience and encourage them to plan ahead by checking the Traffic Scotland website for up to date travel information.”
