Update 05/10/26 - Phase 1 has been completed and the west steps are now open for use. To maintain project progress we have moved onto the phase 3 works early and apologise for the late change and disruption this will cause. To reach the central walkway please divert using the west steps (use the East steps to reach Tay Street, walk below the bridge and reach the walkway via the West steps)
Tayside Contracts, through their sub-contractor Delson, will be undertaking resurfacing of some of our paths in Fife commencing on 28 September for around three weeks. They will be resurfacing the paths in three phases to mitigate the impact of the works on both pedestrians and cyclists, in particular users of the walkway.
Phase 1 - Newport Steps
The West steps to Tay Street have now been resurfaced and the steps are open for use.
Phase 2 - Underpass (culvert) to bridge walkway - This will take place on the dates advertised
For health and safety reasons (dust, noise and moving machinery) we must temporarily close the walkway for a maximum of three days between the hours of 7am and 7pm. A free shuttle bus will be provided by Moffat and Williamson while the walkway is shut, which will be capable of transporting bicycles. The walkway will reopen to all users from 7pm to 7am.
Phase 3 - Path from Fife car park to underpass - We apologise for starting this phase early (5 October) but we are keen to maintain project progress.
Path from the car park to the underpass is now closed for resurfacing. Access to the bridge walkway is via the west (Newport) steps.
We apologise for the disruption as we carry out these path improvements. This webpage will be updated with progress updates.
