The Kincardine Bridge is set to undergo a £16 million upgrade, including the demolition of its viaduct which was installed in 1992.
An 80-metre section of the Category A listed structure is going to be replaced as part of the work announced by road operator BEAR Scotland.
The bridge is made up of multiple connected spans, including a piled viaduct at the southern end, which was assessed by civil engineers in 1984 as substandard in design.
