The first phase of the works will include the replacement of existing damaged drainage gullies and connections and full depth carriageway reconstruction.

Phase 2 – Carriageway final surfacing and road markings (Tuesday 22 July – Saturday 26 July)

The second phase of the project includes the final surfacing of the carriageway and road marking work. These will start on Tuesday 22 July and is scheduled to be completed on Saturday 26 July.

To enable the works to be carried out and to ensure the safety of the contractors, a nighttime road closure will be in place each night between 7pm and 5am. To minimise the impact to businesses this phase of work has been split into three sections.

Section 1 – Tuesday 22 July to Wednesday 23 July

Section 2 – Wednesday 23 July to Thursday 24 July

Section 3 – Thursday 24 July to Friday 25 July

No vehicle access will be permitted within the road closure extents for the duration of the works, however access for emergency vehicles will be maintained throughout. During the works, on street parking and loading will be suspended within the closure extents. Please support the contractor by not parking vehicles on the carriageway or footway in the works location to ensure a safe working area can be maintained and to avoid delaying the works programme. If the works are delayed due to parked vehicles, additional nights of road closures will be required to enable the works to be completed.

All works are weather dependant and are subject to change.

The council, Equans and contractor Specialist Surfacing Ltd would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience and assure that the work will be completed as quickly and safely as possible.
