Notice of traffic management on Wood End Lane and A515

What we are doing

What we are doing

HS2 Ltd is proposing changes to the junction of the A515 and Wood End Lane, with further widening to Wood End Lane itself. This is to improve traffic flows during the construction of HS2. To help design
the changes to the highway, Balfour Beatty will carry out various surveys and ground investigation works within the Wood End Lane and A515 carriageway. To carry out the work safely, we’ll need to put temporary traffic management measures in place.

When will we carry out these works

As part of ongoing work in this area, Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) are also carrying out work that requires the closure of Wood End Lane. We recognise that roadworks can be a source of frustration. To reduce disruption and avoid closing the road multiple times, we will extend the Wood End Lane closure from watery lane up to the A515/ Wood End Lane junction.

We will close the road overnight from 8pm to 6am to carry out survey work on the following dates:

• Monday 25 October to Thursday 28 Oct October
• Monday 1 November to Thursday 4 November
• Monday 8 November to Tuesday 9 November
• Monday 15 November to Thursday 18 November

During the day, we will put temporary traffic lights on A515 from 8am to 6pm on the following days:

• November 10 to 12 November 2021

How we will minimise disruption

We will install acoustic sound barriers around the perimeter of the drilling equipment to reduce noise levels. We will maintain access to properties and will not work weekends. During the closure, we will put a signed diversion route in place. We will install sound barriers around the perimeter of the drilling equipment to reduce noise levels.
