What we are doing
As the project progresses, it is necessary to remove vegetation to enable future works to continue and to allow access to areas of the site. We will be completing remaining vegetation clearance works along the A421, near Finmere.
A lane closure and temporary traffic management, in the form of two-way traffic lights, will be introduced to carry out this work. To reduce disruption, this traffic management will be overnight only, between 7.00pm and 6.00am, Monday 17 January to Friday 11 February. We will work to reduce the closure period as much as possible.
In order to carry out our works, it may be necessary that traffic is delayed for no more than 15 minutes at any one time. This will allow us to keep road users as well as our work force safe for the duration of these works, as we will be working directly on the carriageway. If these are required, we will ensure there is at least one hour between such delays.
Prior to any vegetation removal, an ecologist will complete a detailed survey of the area to be cleared. Any protected species found to be present will be recorded and the vegetation will be left undisturbed with the appropriate buffer zone established. Vegetation clearance will only commence once further surveys and mitigation can be established to confirm that the protected species are no longer present.
