Please bear in mind there will be delays whilst the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals.
Access to emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
We will be working from 7am to 7pm however, there will be localised overnight closures to allow materials to cure and to protect equipment. Residential access will be maintained wherever possible.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: If required, we will put out ‘no parking’ signs and cones on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works.
Weather: All of these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the works.
Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
