Coneworx on behalf of Network Rail will manage the closed section of road and will put out warning 
signs in advance of the closure and diversion signs out during it. 

Darren Dickson, Project Manager for Network Rail, said: “The work we’re undertaking will provide 
vital information on the condition of this railway bridge is crucial for the long-term future reliability 
of the line. 

“Working on the railway at night offers the safest environment for our teams and causes the least 
disruption to our passengers and freight trains. However, we understand the inconvenience this 
work will cause some people. 

“We would like to thank those affected for their patience and understanding and offer assurances 
that every effort has been made to reduce the impact of our activities as much as possible.”
