Dualling the A92 north of Glenrothes to the Tay bridge will once again be top of the agenda at the Glenrothes Area Futures Group’s forthcoming public meeting.
GAFG members have arranged another open gathering at the Rothes Halls on Wednesday, October 27, when it hopes the issue of upgrading the route will again be highlighted.
The organisation wants the A92 to be improved north of Glenrothes right up to Dundee, pinpointing five hazards along the route which it believes could benefit from better safety measures.
Two junctions have been earmarked by BEAR Scotland and Transport Scotland for further study, namely the Balfarg and Cadham junctions as drivers leave Glenrothes, but the GAFG has expressed concerns over the length of time assessments of these two black spots are taking.
Ron Page, convener of the GAFG’s A92 sub-group, said members were looking forward to further dialogue with transport authorities which will hopefully resolve their concerns and those of local communities.
“The answer to all problems associated with the A92 in Fife at and north of Glenrothes are resolved by a dual carriageway, as envisaged now many years ago,” he said.
“This would be but a logical conclusion, linking two dynamic centres.
“At the north of Glenrothes the trunk road is not fit for purpose.”
Mr Page also took issue with the fact that recent high-profile accidents on the route have not prompted further action by authorities.
There were two deaths and 12 people hurt in accidents in a nine-day spell in late August, sparking anger from the GAFG which continues to demand urgent measures to improve safety.
