Work to stabilise the embankment and reinstate the footpath at the section of the Tower Burn underneath Glen Bridge in Dunfermline will start today and be ongoing until the end of June.

The remediation works will involve general site clearance within and around the embankment, re-grading of the embankment to enhance stability and reinstatement of the failed footpath and pedestrian railing. The works will also involve installation of palisade fencing around the bridge to prevent unauthorised access.

During the works the contractor will use the coach parking spaces adjacent to the site. The Tower Burn footpath will be closed for periods of time to allow work to be carried out safely. A diversion will be in place throughout the closure with access from the Glen Bridge car park to the footpath which runs adjacent to Tesco and will rejoin the footpath at Winterthur Lane.
