Safety concerns regarding the A92 through Fife are to be raised at the House of Commons.
Campaigners calling for improvements on the main route between Glenrothes and Dundee will give a first-hand briefing to Fife MPs Lindsay Roy and Sir Menzies Campbell.
The meeting with Dr Bob Grant, chairman of the Glenrothes Area Futures Group (GAFG), will take place just a week after two men were killed on the road between Freuchie and Ladybank.
Richard Dickie, 69, from Kirkcaldy and Alexander Kennedy, 33, from Methil, lost their lives after the Ford Focus they were travelling in was in collision with a Hyundai i30.
Little more than 24 hours later, a woman was taken to hospital with potentially life-changing injuries following a crash between her Mazda 3 and an articulated lorry hear the Melville Lodges roundabout.
Last week’s tragedy follows a string of fatal and serious accidents on the A92 which have led to calls by GAFG and others for the road to be dualled as far as the Tay Road Bridge.
At the very least, they want major improvements at the various junctions with the A92 through Glenrothes.
Their fight was dealt a bitter blow last year when Transport Scotland said an assessment of the route from Preston roundabout to Balfarg, which includes the Cadham junction, “did not identify any interventions to improve the junctions” and that “there are no plans to dual”.
In the latest stage of their campaign, GAFG are arranging a meeting with all the Fife MSPs, as well as Scottish transport minister Keith Brown, to highlight safety concerns about the road.
Ron Page, convener of GAFG’s A92 group, said: “The GAFG has had positive meetings with Fife police and both Transport and BEAR Scotland.
“However, being almost at the end of our tether as far as any substantial improvements to this trunk road, we decided to meet with all the Fife MSPs.”
GAFG are particularly concerned Transport Scotland’s budget for minor improvements has been slashed from £14.1 million in 2008/9 to £500,000 in 2012/13, a reduction of more than 96%.
Mr Page added: “The three very recent accidents have added ammunition to our call for improvements to this trunk road.
“The two fatalities, in particular, we regard as tragic. We are calling on the Scottish Government to review its policy on trunk roads all over Scotland and the A92 in Fife in particular.
“The Government cannot be let off the hook by saying we must wait until the new bridge is complete and the A9 improvements are completed.”
Mr Roy said: “The A92 through Fife is dualled from the M90 to the Preston roundabout in Glenrothes and it makes no sense whatsoever that it should then stop.
“I have long supported the GAFG campaign and as the road runs through both my and Sir Menzies Campbell’s constituencies, we have arranged to meet Bob Grant to hear about the latest moves.
“Transport is a devolved matter but we will continue to do everything we can to bring about desperately-needed improvements to the A92.”
