A project to resurface and waterproof the A91 New Bridge in Guardbridge is to be carried out by Fife Council.

The local authority said the works will commence on Saturday 2 August and should be completed by Monday 18 August.

In a statement, it said the works are unavoidable, but as the road serves St. Andrews and is very busy, the project will be carried out during the school holidays and between the times of 7am and 10pm, seven days a week.


Traffic management measures will be in place for the duration of the scheme. One lane of traffic will remain open across the bridge, while three-way temporary traffic signals will be used to control the traffic approaching the bridge. The project is expected to cause severe disruption in the area and the Council has asked residents to use alternative routes, while pedestrians and cyclists will be able to use the old bridge.
