What we are doing
To continue to prepare for tunnelling works in the Water Orton area, we will install a crossing for plant over the B4118 Birmingham Road. This will allow safe crossing for plant and work vehicles from our sites to the north and south of B4118 Birmingham Road.
In order for the plant crossing to be safe when in operation, a four-way traffic light system will be installed on the B4118 Birmingham Road. This will manage traffic from either direction along the B4118 and the two entrances to our sites on the north and south of the road. The lights will be in place 24 hours a day but will only be in use when required. We will try to limit the cross movements to off peak hours as much as possible. The traffic lights will be manually controlled throughout, and priority of the traffic management will always be given to B4118 Birmingham Road to ensure traffic flow is impacted as least as possible.
