Fife Council to spend almost £300,000 on Kirkcaldy resurfacing

Fife Council is investing £274,000 to resurface a main road in Kirkcaldy.

The work gets underway on Rosslyn Street on Monday and is expected to last for around three weeks.

There'll be two-way temporary traffic lights installed at various spots along the stretch of road.

Bus diversions are also being put in place due to the closure of the Viewforth Street junction, affecting the number 7 and 46 bus services.

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 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.

“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.”
