What we are doing
In preparation for the construction of the Greatworth Green Tunnel, in late November we will be installing some additional drainage pipes across Helmdon Road near Greatworth. This work will involve excavating the carriageway, installing the pipes and then restoring the road surface. For reasons of safety this section of road will be fully closed 24-hours a day until this work is complete. Some weekend working may be required in order to re-open the road as quickly as possible.
A full closure will be required, 24-hours a day on Helmdon Road, Greatworth, from Monday 21 November to Sunday 27 November 2022.
In addition to the above works, in early November we will be carrying out some vegetation removal along B4525 Welsh Lane near Greatworth. We are aware that road closures on this section of road can increase traffic within local villages. We have therefore planned these works using traffic lights to help reduce local disruption.
There will be traffic lights on a section of the B4525 Welsh Lane, from 8.00am – 6.00pm Monday 7 November to Friday 18 November 2022.
