What we are doing
During our main construction works, we will be using internal haul and access roads for our construction traffic, reducing the amount of construction traffic on the local highways. To achieve this, the Wormleighton Road will be fully closed for approximately two weeks in February, 24 hours a day, to build a highway crossing area.
A strengthened road surface will be created using concrete to ensure that we protect the road and any utilities underneath it for the duration of our works.
Due to this section of Wormleighton Road being narrow, and as the preparatory works will require large plant and machinery, we are required to fully close this section of road, 24 hours a day. This is for the safety of road users and our staff and will allow time for the concrete to set.
Wormleighton Road will be fully closed, 24 hours a day, from Monday 21 February to Monday 7 March, including weekends, with a diversion in place. Some weekend working may be required.
We will work to open the roads to reduce disruption as soon as possible.
