Traffic is being diverted after an emergency closure of the main road through Anstruther.

Work is under way to repair a leak in a water pipe on the corner of High Street West and Elizabeth Place.

A timescale for the repair has not been confirmed but it is hoped the road can reopen by the weekend.

A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “Scottish Water is working to investigate and repair a leak on a water pipe at the corner of High Street West and Elizabeth Place, Anstruther.

Anstruther road closure for work on water pipe

“Due to the location of the leak, a road closure has been put in place to enable the works to be carried out safely.

“Our teams are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and will reopen the road once the work has been completed.

“We would like to thank locals and road users for their patience and following the signed diversions while we carry out this essential repair work.”

Stagecoach says some of its services are being diverted.

The firm posted on X: “Due to an emergency road closure in Anstruther service X60 will be unable to service Anstruther harbour. Apologies.”

The firm also says services towards St Andrews are diverting via the B9171.
