Bawbee Bridge reopens ahead of schedule

The new Bawbee bridge officially opened to traffic on Tuesday (28 November), earlier than had been planned.
Work to replace the structure, which was weight-restricted and at the end of its lifespan, was planned and funded by Fife Council and delivered by Network Rail as part of the wider Levenmouth Rail Link project.
During the demolition of the original bridge, a temporary road bridge was in place to carry around 18,000 vehicle movements per day and minimise disruption.
With the new Bawbee bridge in place, the temporary road bridge will be removed and work will continue to create the car park for the new Leven station.
It’s a significant piece of work, with the new structure boasts 7,000 tonnes of stone and 100 tonnes of steel reinforcement.
