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, we will put temporary traffic lights along the B5014 and Blithbury Road and a road closure on Stonyford Lane.

When the work will take place

The ground penetrating and topographical surveys will take place from Tuesday 4 January to Thursday 10 February 2022. 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

On Tuesday 4 January to Monday 17 January (excluding weekends) from 9am to 5pm we need to install temporary traffic lights. These will be placed along both the B5014 and Blithbury Road and will differ each day as we move along the carriageway.
On Wednesday 2 February to Thursday 10 February (excluding weekends) from 9am to 3.30pm we need to close Stonyford Lane. We will put a signed diversion route in place for motorists to use Blithbury Road and the B5014/Uttoxeter Road. There will also be a small section of Hadley Gate closed during this time. We will maintain access to nearby business.

Update: We have been progressing well with our surveys, but haven’t quite been able to finish all we planned. To finish our work, we will need a couple more days of closures. These will take place on Friday 11 February and Monday 14 February 2022.
