Network Rail has completed the installation of the main sections of the new footbridge over the Levenmouth railway at Duniface.
Highly visible from the surrounding communities, the bridge sits 15m above the railway and the River Leven and is already a significant landmark in the area at 144m-long.
The bridge, which was placed into position over a four-day period using a 750-tonne crane, will carry the core path between the communities of Methilhill and Kennoway - replacing Swaine’s bridge, which currently sits over the river.
It’s the first of three new bridges that will be constructed along the new six-mile rail link, creating links between the new railway stations at Leven and Cameron Bridge.
Part of the future of the Levenmouth rail corridor is an improved walking and cycling offering and this bridge is integral to the enhanced network of active travel routes being developed.
