National Grid’s principal contractor, Balfour Beatty, has established the main project compound in Assington, CO10 5LX with the access point from the adopted highway provided off the A134.
To ensure safe access to and from the compound and to maintain road safety for local traffic, a temporary speed limit reduction will be implemented along a section of the A134 either side of the main construction compound.
