What we are doing
In the spring, we begin installing the steel beams for the permanent A43 overbridge deck. The installation involves lifting 7 pairs of connected beams. Each pair weighs 137 tonnes and is 65m long. We are lifting them from the A43 northbound road onto the central construction area, which is in the middle of the A43.
We need to make sure safety comes first. This means we will have to temporarily close a section of the A43 in both directions, between Brackley North and the B4525 junction. There will be no access from Radstone village on to the A43.
A section of the A43 will be fully closed in both directions, northbound and southbound between Brackley North (Northampton Road) and the B4525 junction, from:
• 10pm Friday 14 March to 8pm Sunday 16 March
Due to National Highways Essential Maintenance Works (A43 Brook Culvert Geotechnical Scheme), residents will not be able to exit Whitfield and travel north onto the A43. This collaborative effort aims to minimise
future closures on the A43.
