What we are doing
A38 southbound slip road to open on 24 June 2024
We will complete construction of the A38 Southbound Slip Overbridge in June 2024. Due to recent adverse weather conditions and additional utility design and construction works, we are planning to reopen the A38 southbound slip road at Streethay on Monday 24 June 2024 at 5:30am.
A38 northbound slip road to close on 24 June 2024
To construct the A38 Rykneld Street Overbridge we will first build a temporary diversion of a section of the A38, at Streethay. We aim to complete and switch traffic onto the new temporary road diversion on 30 September 2024. We previously communicated that we would need to close the northbound slip road for 20 months. We have reduced this period to 15 months and will now require the following phases:
• Phase one: We will temporarily close the northbound slip road from Monday 24 June until 30 September 2024
• Phase two: We will temporarily reopen the northbound slip from 30 September until November 2025
• Phase three: 10 month closure of northbound slip road from November 2025 until September 2026
Our construction activities over this period will include piling works, earthworks and bridge deck installation. Our working hours will be from 8am until 6pm Monday to Saturday. Some work will be carried out overnight and on weekends.
