Fife Council has said roadworks are progressing well in Cupar town centre.

Works will be completed in the Crossgate area tomorrow (6 December) in time for the Christmas light switch-on which is planned on Saturday.

Then, from Monday 9 December, the contractor will commence work on the footpath on the south side of St Catherine Street. This will become one-way eastbound, with westbound traffic diverted via Station Road and the Crossgate.


Work started earlier this autumn and, if all goes to plan, the project should be finished in the summer next year. The works include streetscape refurbishment along sections of the Crossgate, Bonnygate Sreet, Catherine Street, East Burnside, Station Road and East Bridge; while pavements will be uplifted and re-laid with key sections in high quality paving materials and kerbing.

Elsewhere, a section of road realignment between St. Catherine Street and East Bridge will be carried out at the former ATS building as well as carriageway resurfacing, with pedestrian crossing/traffic signals equipment being added and renewed. The Monument (Mercat Cross) at Crossgate, will also be relocated while the entrance to Fluthers Car Park will be repositioned.

A detailed plan of the works is available to view at the Local Office.
