Notice of extension to Ellesborough Road closure for temporary realignment tie-in

What we are doing

During the last 3 weeks, we have been completing tie in works to join the new alignment of Ellesborough Road into the existing carriageway. During the course of these complex realignment works, our team have so far constructed and resurfaced the tie in points, installed safety barriers and worked with our partners to redirect utilities. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the high voltage electricity cable situated above the new alignment was not able to be realigned during this closure period

Due to strike risk caused by the low height of the cable, which is situated above the new alignment, we are unable to open the road as planned on the 18th of February. The original alignment is currently not in a condition to allow traffic to pass safely along it, therefore the closure of Ellesborough Road will need to be extended, whilst we manage the removal of this cable.

Closures will be in place 24 hours a day from 18 February – 24th February
