A ROAD in Fife has been closed indefinitely after a “void” was discovered during resurfacing work.
The hole was found while road works were being carried out on the B922 between Kirkcaldy and Kinglassie, near Cluny Bridge, on Wednesday.
Work on the road has been suspended while Fife Council investigates the cause behind the hole.
The date for when the road will reopen or for repairs has yet to be confirmed by the local authorities.

A diversion has already been put in place for the resurfacing which will remain while the road is closed.
Speaking to the Courier, Mark Dewar, the service manager for Fife Council, said: “We have suspended local resurfacing work after a void was identified below the road surface, near to the Cluny Bridge.
“Initial investigations have been unable to establish the extent of the void or why it appeared, and more investigatory work is being carried out this week.
“A road closure is in place at the B922 from the B981 and the signed diversion which was already in place for the resurfacing work remains.
“We apologise to local residents and businesses for the inconvenience but until we know more, a timescale for the road closure and repair is still uncertain.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
