What we are doing
As part of the main construction phase for the various bridges and Thame Valley Viaduct being built in the Aylesbury and Fleet Marston area, we expect multiple deliveries of abnormal loads along the A41 from mid January 2025.
As a key part of the main construction phase of the Thame Valley Viaduct, we will continue to receive deliveries of precast concrete beams. Due to their size at 30m in length, they are classed as abnormal loads. Components for other structures currently being built will also be delivered as abnormal loads during this period.
To safely deliver these components to the EKFB site compound on the A41, there will be temporary traffic management at certain points on the A41 overnight. The abnormal load delivery route is submitted to the Police and Local Highway Authorities for approval by the hauliers and are the same as our usual route to this site, from the M40 and along the A41.
There will be abnormal load deliveries from mid January for the next few months off peak from 8pm. Deliveries will normally be made on Wednesdays and Fridays.
