• Overnight road closure Monday 26 July 2021

Overnight works to renew the road surface on the A977 near Tulliallan are set to take place on Monday 26 July 2021.

Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland will carry out the project. Working hours will be between 19:30 and 06:30.

For the safety of road workers and motorists, the A977 carriageway will be closed during the works between Kilbagie Roundabout and Kincardine.

A signed diversion route will be in place for northbound traffic via the Kincardine Bridge, Higgins Neuk Roundabout, the Clackmannanshire Bridge and the A876. The same route in reverse will be signposted for southbound traffic. These diversions will add an estimated 3 minutes and 1.5 miles 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 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 on the A977 near Tulliallan will address and repair defects in the road surface, such as potholes or cracks, 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 to minimise any disruption.

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