Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland’s south east network manager, said: “This road widening scheme will reduce queuing and congestion around Kilbagie and Gartarry Roundabouts during peak times.

“It will be necessary to close one lane of the A977 each weekday night during the works and occasional overnight full closures of the road will also be required.

“We’ll do all we can to complete the works as quickly and safely as possible.”
