What we are doing
As part of the Small Dean Viaduct construction works, we will be realigning a section of the A413 London Road early next year. During November in preparation, works will take place adjacent to the road to prepare the area for utility diversions in December, this will require Saturday night road closures.
As part of our viaduct construction works, we will be excavating part of the embankment next to the existing Chiltern Rail line over the Christmas period. To ensure we can deliver these works safely we need to carry out further preparatory work in the area to ready the site for excavation.
The works will involve creating a crossing point to enable our site vehicles to safely cross the A413 London Road as well as erecting perimeter fencing. These works can only take place whilst the rail line is closed which we are currently only permitted to do on Saturday nights.
The rail line closure will be implemented after the last train service of the day so that train services should be unaffected however, please check with the train operator before travelling.
In late November we will introduce temporary traffic lights on the A413 London Road to enable concrete lorries to turn right from our compound to get to our Nash Lee batching plant. The reason for this is to enable us to complete a large concrete pour for the Wendover Dean Viaduct.
We will be closing the A413 London Road between 9pm – 6am on Saturday nights on the following dates:
• 26th November
• 3rd December
• 10th December
• 17th December
These dates may be subject to change due to circumstances outside of our control. In the event that our works are completed early, some of these closures may be shorter than advised.
