New underpass under construction Work under way to install a new underpass under the busy B9097. The underpass will link the RSPB Visitor Centre with the wetlands on the southern shore of Loch Leven and will be accessed by a gently inclined ramp. It will replace the old rather inadequate underpass to the east which could only be accessed by steps (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5363544">NT1699 : Subway beneath B9097</a>).
