What we are doing
We previously carried out ground penetrating radar and topographical surveys which are above ground. Our next step is to do further surveys to help us inform future construction design. This work involves pavement coring, bore holes, trial pits on and off the highway. We will excavate below ground to provide us with samples and allow us to view the structure and record the layout of land.
To carry out this work safely we will need to install temporary traffic lights on the A53 and A51 near to The Swan with Two Necks pub and a temporary road closure on Wharmadine Lane.
These works will now take place from Monday 30 January to Friday 10 March 2023 between 8pm and 5am, and we will no longer be installing traffic lights during the day. We will work during the night on temporary traffic lights on the A51 & A53. Please note that all our planned roadworks may be subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
