Bawbee Bridge to reopen to road traffic on 4 Dec:

https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/date-announced-for-leven-road-bridge-to-re-open
Network Rail has announced a date for the opening of the new River Leven Road (Bawbee) bridge following completion of work to rebuild the section above Leven station.

At 10:00 on Monday, December 4 the road will be fully re-opened to traffic, with engineers progressing work on the car park area of the new Leven station.

The road diversion that has taken vehicles across the temporary road bridge and onto the existing road network via the new roundabout at South Street (B932) will close and the bridge over the river will be removed.

Sitting above the new Leven station car park, the A955 road bridge was completely rebuilt as the original structure showed significant signs of chlorine contamination and corrosion. A long-term weight restriction from the carriageway was removed following the reconstruction of the bridge.
The temporary footbridge alongside has been removed:
