Details

What you need to know

There may be short delays during working hours, and your understanding is appreciated.

The left-hand eastbound lane and cycle lane will be closed during works. Cyclists will be able to use alternative shared footpath as shown in yellow on map below.

Lane closure will be operating during interpeak hours only (9am - 4pm).

Temporary traffic management (road cones, signs) will be installed as part of the works.

We know this work can be disruptive, and we appreciate your co-operation and understanding.

Information for residents

Access to properties for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained around the worksite where possible.

We’ll help people 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’ll do our best to keep this to a minimum.

The work will have no impact on any services such as water, electricity, telecommunications, and gas.

The timing of the work and certain activities will depend on the weather and the roads. We'll provide updates if there are changes to the planned works.
