What we are doing
In Chipping Warden, we are constructing the Chipping Warden Green Tunnel. The tunnel structure is built using precast segments that are produced off-site.
We will soon be receiving the delivery of a particularly wide precast tunnel segment. This segment, which includes some additional design features, will require a lane closure for the safety of road users.
We will require a southbound carriageway closure of the A361 to allow the wide load to safely pass through the narrow sections of highway near Wardington. This will be the same closure area that we required in 2022 for our first deliveries.
To safely deliver this abnormal load, the southbound carriageway of the A361 will be closed off-peak, for a short period between 5am and 9am, on Sunday 12 March 2023.
We are planning for one wide-load HGV delivery and so It is likely that the road will only be closed briefly,
If we are unable to deliver on that date, we will, as a contingency, carry out the same closure on Sunday 19 March 2023.
