This summer, we’re investing £1million improving the road network in Dunfermline.

The project will focus on Carnegie Drive Dunfermline to Crossford and will include upgrading road surfaces and street lighting, improving drainage, enhancing pedestrian safety and carrying out structural bridge repairs.

Works will start on Saturday 4 July and last for 9 weeks - depending on the weather.

Location 

Works will take place from A907 Carnegie Drive in Dunfermline along the A994 to Crossford. As this is a key route into Dunfermline and west Fife, the roadworks are likely to slow traffic and cause delays. The programme has been planned for the summer to help reduce disruption as much as possible, but it will have an impact on residents and road users.

To help keep traffic moving, we’ll use a mix of road and lane closures, suspending residents parking, manually controlled traffic signals and temporary traffic lights.

Thank you for your patience and co-operation as we’re improving the road network in Dunfermline.
