SCHEDULED ROAD WORKS

The B4380 & B5061 from Atcham to Uppington is programmed for Surface Dressing between Tuesday 14th April and Wednesday 27th May during the hours of 9:30am to 4pm Weekdays and 6am to 6pm Weekends.

The work is currently programmed to take place as follows:
14th April – Road Closure for Stud Removal
14th – 17th May – Road Closure for Surface Dressing
26th – 27th May– Road Closure for White Lining

The road will have an initial sweep within 24 hours of the new surface being laid. The sweeper returns after 7 days to remove any residual loose chippings.

How will this affect traffic?
Signs will be erected in the road before starting the work and the work will be completed as quickly as possible. A signed diversion route will be in place.

Will there be access to my property/business?
Yes, if you are looking to access a property or business, we will provide access for you.
We will have staff on site who are able to assist with access. Our priority is to keep you and our staff safe, this means that there may be a bit of a wait while we make the site safe for you to travel through the closure or direct you to another entry point.

How can you help us?
Please ensure vehicles are not parked on the road during the day whilst the work is in progress. Please be mindful that we can only provide access for properties/businesses within the work area.

Why use Surface Dressing?
•
To improve the skid resistance of the road surface.
•
To seal the road against ingress of water, preventing potholes forming in winter.
•
To extend the life of an existing surface and arrest deterioration of the surface.
•
Surface dressing is a preventative method of maintenance. The process does not reshape or increase the strength of the road.
