Funding attracts funding. The very positive news that Fife Council’s Policy and Co-ordination committee this week approved a plan to spend £5.7 million more than anticipated on the major renovation works on the Bawbee Bridge.
Just £2.5 million had initially been set aside for the replacement bridge, but additional damage along with the timescale for the reintroduction of Levenmouth Rail Link focused minds. A temporary diversion road and bridge link, which may be in place for a year, will now be created over the River Leven to avoid a five-mile diversion and minimise disruption while work on the new bridge is carried out.
Delaying essential work until after train services resume might have incurred £13 million in additional costs. This will be financed from the Council’s capital contingency fund and, hopefully bids to national funding streams. Without the trains’ imminent arrival, it is arguable whether this timely investment in this major link between north and south Levenmouth, would have been forthcoming
Council co-leader David Ross noted deterioration in the bridge meant “the project has changed completely and actually getting in and doing this now is a positive step forward- the best way of integrating it with the overall rail programme and ensure there are no delays.”
Elsewhere fencing work is imminent so current users need to be aware of its impact. (see notice below)

A year long project? Why? A railway bridge was replaced in England over two nights including the realignment of the rail bed and the upgrade of the roadway.
That's a lot of money for a wee bridge
Like I said, put the bridge to 4 lanes add a foot bridge either side and I'll keep the £8m change.... Suit wearing buffoons
Hi Folks.
A member of LMRC was interviewed by STV today about the Bawbee Bridge situation.
It will be shown on the Scottish STV News from 18.00 tonight (Thursday 20/01) from about 10 minutes in.
Unfortunately many of our supporters will receive a different edition of this News and so won't be able to see it.
It will however be available on the STV Player for a day from an hour or so afterwards for those who can tune to the Dundee version.
If any kind and clever person can either record it and post here or post a link that would be much appreciated.
Was on stv Dundee lol
Wonder why it is going out to the Dundee micro region: Levenmouth is in the STV Edinburgh micro region. Here is a link to the 'STV News - Dundee' programme. It is currently showing yesterday's programme, but should change to today's once it is available. player.stv.tv/summary/stv-news-dundee You do not need a Dundee postcode to view it - they only ask for a postcode to check that you are in the STV region.
Go to STV player on fire stick go to settings then change post code to KY1 2BH to watch may take several times will not work if built in to Tv as live Tv not available 👍 STV Edinburgh
