What we are doing

To enable the construction of the new railway we will divert utilities on and around Watling Street in Hints. This will firstly require a lane closure followed by a temporary closure of a section of Watling Street.

The works will take place from Wednesday 4 January until Sunday 5 February. To carry out our works safely, we will install a lane closure managed by temporary traffic lights for one week, followed by a road closure for four weeks.
– Temporary traffic lights will be in place from Wednesday 4 January to Sunday 8 January 2023.
– Temporary closure of Watling Street will be in place for four weeks from Monday 9 January to Sunday 5 February 2023.
The traffic lights and road closure will be in place 24 hours a day.
Our working hours will be from 8am until 6pm, Monday to Friday. Our team may work on weekends, Saturdays 8am until 1pm and Sundays 8am until 6pm (subject to consent).
