Background

History

Boreland Road was first opened in 1784. It is likely at this time that the Mill Bridge, named after a nearby flour mill, was built to span the Keithing Burn and the recently opened Halbeath Waggon Way, which transported materials from Halbeath to Inverkeithing Harbour. By 1829, Mill Bridge had fallen into disrepair. On 19 January 1829, plans for Boreland Road Bridge were drawn by Mr Peddie of Inverkeithing. John Menzies of Dunfermline was the builder. The total cost of Boreland Road Bridge was £102-0-11p. The upper roadway of the bridge was widened in the 20th century, and the current railway bridge archway was replaced in the 1970s.
