What we are doing
To complete the final tie-in of the temporary diversion of Ellesborough Road into the existing road, our team need to close the road to enable us to connect the existing road and the new road together and bring it into use.
During the course of these complex realignment works, our team have so far dug trial holes, surveyed, and diverted high voltage cables, gas mains, internet and telephone services and installed a sheet pile wall to protect the Memorial Wood during the Wendover Green Tunnel construction.
Due to the narrow width of the carriageway and the requirement for our workforce to be working on the road, we need a full closure to ensure the safety of both our workforce and road users.
Pedestrian and resident access will be maintained throughout the closure although the footpath maybe diverted onto the carriageway.
When will these works take place?
- Monday 29 January to Sunday 18 February 2024 (road closures)
Please note, these dates may be subject to change due to circumstances outside of our control but will be completed on or around the timings specified.
Should our team finish earlier than planned, we will open the road when practicable.
