WEST Fife motorists are being asked to note that the A823 eastbound slip road linking to the M90 southbound at Junction 2 will be shut overnight next weekend.

Forth Bridges Unit operating company Amey has announced plans for a closure of the road between 8pm on Friday, May 13, and 6am on Saturday, May 14.

The closure is necessary to allow routine maintenance and inspection that cannot be completed with traffic on the carriageway.

To ensure the safety of workers, the slip road will be closed and traffic diverted via M90 Junction 3.

Mark Arndt, Amey’s operating company representative for the Forth Bridges Unit, said: “We’ve planned these works overnight in order to minimise disruption, however some minor delays are possible as a result of the diversion and road users are asked to plan journeys accordingly.”
