Fife Council is investing £274,000 to resurface a main road in the Kirkcaldy area.
Work to resurface Rosslyn Street will begin on Monday 29 July and last for around three weeks.
Cllr Altany Craik, roads spokesperson said: “We maintain over 2,400km of roads in Fife and we’re spending millions each 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 each day, which is why this type of maintenance work is essential.”
The contractor will use two-way temporary traffic lights over three phases. In the first phase, the junctions at York Place, Oswald Road and Windmill Road will be closed. The for the second phase, the junctions at Pottery Street and Brandon Avenue will close. And lastly, Viewforth Street and Park Road junctions will be closed during the final phase.
The footpath beside the works will remain open and we’ll maintain access for emergency services, businesses and residents. Laybys on Rosslyn Street will be restricted at some points during the works.
There will also be a bus service disruption during the closure of the Viewforth Street junction, affecting the bus services 7 and 46. They will be diverted from Viewforth Street to Windmill Road which will involve closing some bus stops on Viewforth Street and putting up temporary stops on Windmill Road.
Cllr Craik concluded: “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 co-operation during this time is appreciated.”
