What we are doing
Throughout the Autumn we have been carrying out preparatory works for the main construction of the A421 realignment and permanent bridge. This new bridge will carry traffic over the HS2 railway and along the newly aligned A421 road.
In early 2023, we will carry out piling to create the underground foundations of the bridge. In order to carry out these works safely, we will be installing some temporary concrete barriers along a section of the A421. These barriers will protect our staff as they prepare foundation works for the new bridge in the verges.
In order to install the barriers, we will need to close this section of the A421 for one night with a diversion in place.
The A421 will be closed overnight from 8pm to 6am beginning Monday 30 January 2023 for one night.
As a contingency, should there be delays to our works, the overnight closure of the A421 will be rescheduled to take place at the end of February 2023, we will update communities accordingly.
