Noise and access

One of the noisiest parts of this work involves digging to prepare the road for resurfacing. We will also have large vehicles moving around the area to prepare and lay the new road surface.

We apologise for the inconvenience that this work will cause. We will be working as efficiently as possible to ensure that noise is kept to a minimum throughout.

Impacts

We will be working over the two weekends across the area. During this time we will need to put in place road closures, pedestrian diversions and there will be closures to pedestrian crossings.

For more detail on each section see our website for the programme. This timetable is subject to change and will be updated as the work continues.
