We are working with National Highways to deliver the HS2 works on the A5 Hints Bypass.
We will be switching traffic along a section of the A5 Hints Bypass onto the new temporary road. This will be done in two phases.
One – We will have temporary overnight closures of the eastbound and westbound carriageways to complete the connection with the new temporary road. We will maintain traffic flows by moving traffic across each carriageway to keep one lane running in each direction.
Two – Overnight carriageway closures will be used to move traffic onto the new temporary road. The temporary road will be in operation until Winter 2025.
To switch traffic over to the temporary road we will have:
• Overnight closure of the A5 eastbound carriageway on 27 October and 20 November 2023 between 9pm and 5.30am.
• Overnight closures of the A5 westbound carriageway on 29 October and 21 November 2023 between 9pm and 5.30am.
Traffic management will merge the two lanes into a single lane running in both directions, firstly on the westbound carriageway, then onto the temporary road. The temporary road will be in operation until Winter 2025.
