Motorists warned of road closure to allow work to progress

A section of the A92 at Glenrothes will be closed overnight from tomorrow for six days to allow resurfacing work to be completed.

The stretch affected by the £110,000 improvement work lies between Preston roundabout and Tullis Russell roundabout.

Used by around 19,000 vehicles every day, it now requires upgrading.

A specialist technique will also be used at Tullis Russell to restore levels of grip on the road surface.

The work will take place from 7.30pm to 6.30am and be completed by 6.30am on June 27.

For safety, the work will require a full closure of the A92 carriageway between the two roundabouts, with a full closure of the Tullis Russell roundabout in place on Friday and Saturday nights.

Northbound traffic will be diverted off the A92 at Preston roundabout and then diverted via the A911 Queensway and B969 Western Avenue rejoining the A92 at Balfarg, while southbound traffic will go via the B969 Western Avenue to Leslie roundabout and A911 Queensway to rejoin the A92 at Preston roundabout.

There will be no access to the A92 from the B9130 from Markinch on Friday and Saturday nights when Tullis Russell roundabout is closed.

BEAR Scotland’s Andy Thompson said work will repair a number of cracks, potholes and other issues to improve the road and help to restore grip on Tullis Russell roundabout.

He added steps have been taken to minimise disruption as much as possible by scheduling the works to take place overnight.
