Information for road users
- Cyclists will need to merge with traffic through the site.
- We will temporarily remove on-street parking to allow space for the works. Local businesses in the area will remain open during this work.
- Please follow all signage and crew directions.
- A 30 km/h speed limit will be in place so we can keep our team and everyone safe.
Information for residents and businesses
- Access to properties and businesses for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists will be impacted at times. We'll aim to provide advance warning where possible.
- We will help people to get around the site. Please advise our team if you have specific requirements e.g. medical visits, large deliveries, home help or any planned works.
- There will be increased construction noise and vibration at times, and we will do our best to keep this to a minimum.
- The work will have no impact on any services such as electricity, telecommunications and gas.
- The timing of the work and certain activities will depend on the weather and the roads.
- Due to the nature of the intersection, additional night works will be required later in the project. Residents and businesses in the area will receive notification about this prior to work.
We know this work can be disruptive and we appreciate your co-operation and understanding.
