What we are doing
To reduce our impact on the local road network, we are building a temporary bridge to carry our construction traffic over the A361. To install the bridge, there will be a series of weekend road closures on the A361 this October.
This bridge will allow our heavy plant to safely cross the A361 and access the construction areas on the east side of Chipping Warden, where we are building the tunnel portal and Edgcote Viaduct.
In order to complete the installation as quickly as possible, we will be working 24 hours a day at the weekends. We have carefully assessed the noise impacts and do not anticipate a significant increase, however some general construction noise may be heard.
A section of the A361 Byfield Road will be closed over a period of up to 4 weekends beginning Friday 14 October to Monday 7 November 2022. These closures will commence each Friday at 8pm until 6am Monday morning.
