THE £5.8 million Mountfleurie Bridge has officially opened over the Levenmouth Rail Link between Kirkland and Mountfleurie.
The 100‑metre active travel crossing reconnects communities, schools, and services on either side of the railway – restoring an important local link that has been unavailable during rail reinstatement works.
Developed and delivered by Fife Council’s roads and transportation services with funding from the UK Government, the bridge was constructed by Network Rail following extensive planning, engineering, and installation activity.
Councillor Alistair Suttie, Fife Council convener of the Levenmouth area committee, said, “It’s fantastic to see this much‑needed connection open for the people of Levenmouth and it’s a real step forward. A great deal of effort has gone into delivering this bridge, and I’m delighted residents will be able to use it from this weekend.”
John Mitchell, head of Fife Council’s roads and transportation services, added, “Seeing the Mountfleurie Bridge fully completed is a proud moment for everyone involved. It provides a vital link over the rail line and forms a key part of the wider network of active travel routes connecting into Leven and Cameron Bridge stations. This opening marks another important step in making it easier for people to move around Levenmouth safely and sustainably.”
