HS2 Works Notification: Temporary road closure update, Brackley Road, Radstone

What we are doing

As part of our continued preparatory works for our internal haul and access roads we will close Brackley Road for approximately three weeks.

In order to avoid using local roads during the main construction works, we will be using the internal haul and access roads for our construction traffic. As the project progresses, it is also necessary to remove vegetation to enable future works to continue and to allow access to areas of the site. We will create a strengthened surface using concrete to ensure that we protect the road and any utilities underneath it for the duration of our works.

Once the crossing point is created, Brackley Road will then be open as normal, with gates in place to keep local traffic separated from construction traffic. All plant crossings, without exception, will be signal controlled.

As the preparatory works will require large plant and machinery as well as time to allow concrete to set, we are required to fully close these sections of road, 24 hours per day, until they are complete. This is for the safety of road users and our staff.

A section of the Brackley Road will be fully closed, 24 hours a day, from Monday 14 February to Monday 14 March, with a diversion in place. We will work to open the roads to reduce disruption as soon as possible.

Access to Radstone will be from the B4525 and the A43; Radstone residents will maintain access at all times.

There will be no impact on access to the bridleway A X 18 towards Greatworth.
