What we are doing
In preparation for the construction of the Greatworth Green Tunnel, we will be carrying out utility activities along the B4525 Welsh Lane and the Banbury Road near Thorpe Mandeville. These works will be carried out in two phases.
During the first phase, we will be carrying out the following works along B4525 Welsh Lane:
• trial hole surveys;
• ground penetrating radar; and
• CCTV drainage surveys.
These works will require a daytime road closure for two days in September, traffic lights are not possible due to the narrow road width.
During the second phase, on Banbury Road near Thorpe Mandeville, we will be completing a number of activities, some jointly with Anglian Water and BT. These activities include:
• topographical surveys;
• some localised vegetation removal;
• diversion of BT cables; and
• diversion of water mains.
A full road closure will be required for part of these works because staff will be working in open trenches directly in the highway.
A section of the B4525 Welsh Lane will be fully closed from 8.00am to 6.00pm on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 September 2022 with local diversion in place.
Banbury Road, near Thorpe Mandeville, will be closed from 8.00am to 6.00pm from Monday 26to Friday 30 September. Banbury Road will then be fully closed 24 hours a day, including weekends, from Monday 3 October to Sunday 13 November 2022.
