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 |
| A38 at Tarnock | 1 September to 26 September | Reinstatement works on A38 Tarnock involving the removal of a temporary bellmouth access. Works include kerb and drainage replacement, reinstatement of original field access, and verge restoration. | Two-way traffic signals will be in operation from 1 September to 26 September. These signals will operate during standard daytime hours, from 7am - 5:30pm each day. Traffic management will remain in place overnight for safety, as the works directly affect the highway. No bus lane closures are required. | View map |
