Due to the location of the existing water main, and a number of other utilities already in the ground, for most of the schemes we will need to work in the public highway. To keep residents, motorists and our workforce safe we have to put traffic management systems in place.
To allow us to carry out this work we will need to close The Bridle Road and put a diversion route in place. The work in Russell Hill will not require a full road closure but temporary traffic lights will be in place. This will also include the use of multiway signals at junctions that may affect travelling times. We will maintain access for residents, deliveries and emergency vehicles.
Road closures are used when we are unable to provide the required legal distances around our works. When this is the case the road will be closed in 100 to 150 metre sections at a time and within these sections the road will be fully reinstated before we move on to the next phase.
All traffic management arrangements and diversion routes will be advertised on this page and information boards will be visible in the affected areas prior to any traffic management being implemented.
More details to follow as the scheme progresses.
