MOTORISTS are being warned of disruption with roadworks set to take place on a busy road near Dunfermline.
The slip road from the A823(M) eastbound onto the M90 southbound at junction two (Masterton) will close from 8pm until 6am on Saturday.
The hard shoulders and one lane in each direction of the M90 will also be shut.
Bear Scotland will be undertaking urgent investigation works on the concrete edge beam of the bridge carrying the slip road over the motorway.

A diversion route for traffic on the A823(M) wishing to join the M90 southbound will be signposted via the M90 northbound to turn at Junction 3 Halbeath and return southbound.
This diversion will add approximately six miles and three minutes onto affected journeys.
David Bishop, BEAR Scotland’s South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: “An inspection of this structure is essential to ensure the safety of motorway users.
“We thank motorists in advance for their understanding and recommend that they check the latest travel updates from Traffic Scotland, plan ahead and allow extra travel time for their journey if required.”
