St Michaels to Balmullo closure

Resurfacing work will be carried out on the A914 between St Michaels and the Luckl a whill junction by Balmullo from Monday August 7.

The improvements, which are due to take place over two weeks, are part of a wider £230,000 investment by Fife Council aimed at enhancing the road network in north east Fife.

The works mean the road will have to be closed for around a fortnight, with a temporary traffic diversion in operation.

All vehicles will be diverted via the A91 and A919, although there will still be access for emergency services.

Access for residents and businesses, however, will be at the discretion of the contractor, and bus services will inevitably be affected.

Councillor Altany Craik, convener of Fife’s economy, tourism, strategic planning and transportation committee, said: “We maintain over 2,400 km of roads in Fife and we’re spending nearly £8 million this year repairing and improving them.

“Our road network is vital to support economic development, inward investment, tourism, leisure and travel to work.

“Almost everyone in Fife uses our roads on a daily basis, which is why this type of maintenance work is so essential.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and delay caused by these essential works, and we’ll try to keep any disturbance to a minimum.

“Your patience and cooperation during this time is greatly appreciated.”
