Overnight closure of Leven Promenade car park for ground investigation works

Fife Council is advising  that the car park at the promenade in Leven will be closed overnight on August 5 and 6, between 6pm and 7am, to allow survey work to be carried out.

Remnants of an old ferry ramp structure were uncovered under the surface of the prom when work was being carried out earlier this year to repair storm damage.

Mark Dewar, Fife Council's service manager for roads said: " In order to better understand the extent of this structure, and assess the condition of the underlying ground, specialist surveys are being undertaken. The investigations will use non-invasive techniques, such as Ground Penetrating Radar to detect underground features and potential voids beneath the car park surface. We'll use the results of the surveys to help plan any future maintenance and ensure the ongoing safety and stability of the area.

To allow the investigations to take place, users of the car park are being asked to make sure that their vehicles are moved by 6pm each night so that work can start on time.

Mark continued:  "It's important that drivers remove their vehicles from the car park by 6pm on both nights, otherwise we might have to move them to an alternative location, which could result in additional costs.   We'd like to thank users for their patience and co-operation."
