Bawbee Bridge

Bawbee Bridge is a bridge connecting Leven and Methil in Levenmouth, Fife, Scotland.

History

A new bridge, built at a cost of £200,000, was opened in 1958. It comprises two spans: one over the Leven, Fife|River Leven], the other over a railway line.
In 2022, it was confirmed that the span over the railway would be rebuilt at an expected cost of £8 million as part of the Levenmouth [rail link] project. The structure had deteriorated due to chlorine contamination and corrosion and had an 18-tonne weight restriction in place.
In 2022, the bridge was reduced to one lane of traffic to allow Openreach to divert cables. In March 2023, construction of a temporary bridge began. When completed in May, traffic will be diverted over it to allow Bawbee Bridge to be replaced.
The new Leven [railway station (Fife)|Leven railway station] is situated underneath the bridge.
