Junctions – GeneralConcept

• Minimise disruption to road users and pedestrians. shortconstruction duration, keep the traffic flowing.

• Road speed limit reduced to 30mph• Working Hours:

– 0800 – 1800hrs Weekdays

– Peak

– Off Peak

– Minimise night-time and weekend working

– Minimise lane & road closures

• Build Offline to allow SU servicediversion works

• SU service diversion Works• Online carriageway works• Tie-In Works• Island Construction• Final Surfacing

Public Rights of Way

Temporary footpathclosures• Footpaths will not be closed until

works are being undertaken inthat area.

• Closure of footpaths expected tobe on a rolling programme ofclosures from April – June untilcompletion of project.

• Permanent routes – Footbridges• Advanced notification signs

where the public rights of wayleave the roadside.

• Regular inspections of signs

A6120 Redhall to A58

• Temporary closure & diversion route using alternative routes where existing PROW crosses the new carriageway• Footpaths at junction locations will be managed with local footpath diversions
