The work area is the section of the road where our operatives will be working. The road closure area often extends beyond this to manage through traffic and divert it on to an alternative route. This helps us do the work quickly and efficiently, while keeping residents, road users and the workforce safe. 

If you receive information notifying you about a road closure, we will include a map which indicates both the work and road closure areas if these are different.

As the work involves heavy plant and equipment, we cannot guarantee you will be able to access your property without having to wait or access via the other end of the works.

If you normally drive into or out of the work area during the hours when the closure is in place, we may ask you to please make alternative arrangements.

We will often phase works to try to reduce the disruption this can cause, and the site team will be available to communicate with residents and businesses regarding this.

We will always maintain access to properties if it is safe to do so. Delays will sometimes be unavoidable when we must move machinery or equipment out of the way. We thank you for your patience and cooperation while this is done.

Work is phased to allow property access from at least one end of the road. Access may differ, depending on where we are working.

We place advance warning signs at the starting points of our works at least 14 days before the work starts.

We will inform residents and businesses which are located with the area of work, via letter or leaflet drop, at least 14 days in advance of work starting, wherever possible.

We try to keep noise to a minimum, and plan noisier working activities for earlier on in shifts where we are working at night in residential areas. However, the work is being delivered using heavy plant and machinery and this will cause noise and disruption whilst the work is on site, especially where we are working overnight. To try to limit this we:

• Consider alternative ways of working, for example during the day, instead of night, when working in residential areas at the weekend.
• Working reduced hours overnight. This approach often means a longer delivery programme, whereas working longer shifts will result in the work being completed quicker.
• Working during the day whenever we can to reduce costs and disruption to residents during unsociable hours.
