UPCOMING ROADWORKS ON MAIN ROAD 18TH MARCH – 12TH APRIL
UPCOMING ROADWORKS ON MAIN ROAD 18TH MARCH – 12TH APRIL
The Parish Council has received advanced notice of upcoming S278 roadworks along Main Road.
The contractor, Agetur, has provided the following information:
The majority of the work will be done under 3 way signal control. Whilst the road is controlled under signals, to reduce the road congesting up around school times we will either remove the lights to allow the school traffic to filter out naturally, or where this is not achievable we will manually operate the lights to control the traffic.
The works will progress into a road closure which will be on the 8th -12th April. Agetur have liaised with the bus company and agreed to allow through traffic for the 94A service. The only time this will be affected is on the 9th April 2024 when the war memorial 10:21am pick will be suspended to create a 4 hour window for the new road surface to cure and harden. The 12:21pm service will resume as normal and will be allowed through access.
