Drivers have been warned the A876 Clackmannanshire Bridge will be closed for three nights from Tuesday, April 28 to Thursday, April 30 for essential maintenance.

The trunk road will be closed from 8.30pm until 6am each night, in both directions between Higgins Neuk Roundabout and Kilbagie Roundabout.

A signed diversion route will be in place via the A985 Kincardine Bridge and the A977, and will add an estimated five minutes and 1.6 miles to driver journeys. There will also be lane closures in place on both Monday, April 27 and Friday, May 1.

The road will be closed to allow BEAR Scotland to carry out a variety of routine maintenance tasks, including grass cutting, drainage cleaning, and road sweeping.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s south east network manager, said: “We’ll use these overnight closures on the A876 to carry out as many routine maintenance tasks as possible, reducing the overall need for closures and traffic management.”
