ESSENTIAL sewer improvement works are starting in Kincardine next Tuesday.

The £140,000 project will begin on March 28 and involves the replacement and relining of the sewer in Toll Road.

The works will take about five weeks to complete with traffic management in place.

Temporary traffic lights will be in place on the road where one lane is set to be closed off.

Junctions at Mercer Street and Regent Street will also be closed off with diversions in place.

The eastbound bus stop on Toll Road is to be suspended and a temporary stop will be installed at the east of Dewer Avenue.

There may be access and parking restrictions, but there should be no impact on water and waste water services over the next weeks.

Scottish Water wanted to thank customers for their patience while the project is being carried out.
