An 11-day road closure will have a knock-on effect on bus services which travel from Dunfermline to Clackmannanshire and Stirling.

Clackmannan Road, from the Hawkhill junction to the Kwik-Fit entrance, will be restricted to allow for carriageway resurfacing.

The works are expected to start on May 11 and finish on May 22, with the 8A and X22 bus services temporarily diverted via the B907 and Whins Road in both directions.

The 8A route goes from Dunfermline to Alloa, and the X22 goes from Dunfermline to Stirling. The route is often used by those in West Fife who travel to Alloa to visit supermarkets.

Clackmannan Road's restriction means that passengers will be cut off from Lidl and Morrisons and will have to use bus stops on Whins Road during the closure.

Clackmannanshire Council can be contacted about the works on:
01259 450000 and roads@clacks.gov.uk
