Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout these works.
 

Please note, all schemes are weather dependent and may be cancelled or rescheduled if weather conditions are not favourable.
 

This scheme will benefit vehicles using this route each day, by improving the gantry signage on the carriageway in this location.
 

Road users are thanked for their patience and understanding while this work is being undertaken.
