What we are doing
Throughout 2023, we have been carrying out preparatory works for the temporary diversion of Gawcott Road. This temporary diversion will enable us to maintain connectivity for the local area while we construct the new permanent realignment of Gawcott Road and the Perry Hill Overbridge.
We are now ready to complete the tie in works that will join the new temporary road to the existing road network. These works will include the installation of drainage, signage, resurfacing and white lining. Once these works are completed, the local authority will carry out a road safety audit before the temporary road diversion will be opened to the public.
During this time, we will also be carrying out the demolition of the existing Charndon Lodge bridge. For reasons of safety, these works will require a full road closure of Gawcott Road because we will be working directly in the carriageway.
Once the new temporary diversion of Gawcott Road is open, we will begin works for the School Hill Overbridge which will require a temporary closure of Calvert Road. We will update communities once details have been confirmed.
When will these works take place?
A section of Gawcott Road will be fully closed, 24-hours a day, from 7am
Monday 2 October to 7am Sunday 29 October 2023.
Access will be maintained for the Great Moor Sailing Club.
Should there be delays to our works, we will update communities.
