A construction traffic management plan has been agreed with the local authorities which sets out the roads our vehicles can use for construction work and for removing the pylons.
When we’re working on the highways, our contractors need to manage the traffic to keep everyone safe. This will involve using temporary ‘stop/go’ boards, traffic lights and some short-term road closures.
Our contractors put up advance notice signs to let local road users know of any traffic restrictions and road closures.
We have agreed the following timings with the local highway authority.
Location | Duration | Description of works | Traffic Management in place | Map |

Works include kerb and drainage replacement, reinstatement of original field access, and verge restoration. | Traffic management at Castle Hill will vary between day time and night time periods to ensure safety during reinstatement works. During the day time works period, working hours will be 7am - 5pm. To facilitate the works, the road will operate under single-lane conditions with stop/go signals in place.
