What we are doing
Throughout 2023, our teams will be moving into our main construction phases for the various bridges and the viaduct that will be built in the Aylesbury and Fleet Marsden areas.
In an effort to reduce our impact on the local area as well as the amount of work on-site, many aspects of these bridges and the viaduct are being created offsite.
In preparation for the main construction phase of the A41 and A418 realignment and the Thame Valley Viaduct, we will soon begin receiving deliveries of precast beams. Some of these beams will be 30m in length and therefore will be classed as abnormal loads.
To safely deliver the concrete beams, we conducted a trial run in November 2022 for the A41 beam delivery and we are now receiving abnormal loads. Additionally, we will shortly be conducting a trial run for the A418 beam delivery in March 2023. Due to the trial, we may add further areas of traffic management to ensure abnormal loads are able to safely navigate the local road network. The abnormal load delivery routes, which are set by the hauliers and police, are the same as our usual route to this site, from the M40 and along either the A41 or A418.
