What we are doing

We will be carrying out ground penetrating surveys to help us identify the location of buried utility services, such as gas, electric or water. These surveys are non-intrusive, we will use a machine that transmits an electromagnetic pulse into the ground. These pulses reflect off features in the ground, allowing us to collect data and to understand the depth of the buried utility services.

Along with ground penetrating surveys, we will carry out several other surveys. For the safety of both our workforce and motorists, this work will require temporary overnight traffic lights on the A53 and A51.

When will the work take place?

We will start work on Friday 26 November and return on Monday 29 November to Tuesday 30 November. Once this is complete, we will return on Monday 6 to Wednesday 15 December. Please note that all our planned roadworks may be subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.

How this will affect your journey

• Tuesday 7 to Thursday 9 December multiple temporary traffic lights moving along the A51 and A53 from 8am to 5pm
• Friday 10 to Wednesday 15 December multiple overnight temporary traffic lights moving along the A51 and A53 from 8pm to 6am
