We understand there is no right time to undertake this work however, the scheme has been carefully planned during school holidays to minimise disruption to local residents, businesses and members of the travelling public.

Please note that occasionally the works have to be changed at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather conditions or logistics.

• From Green Lane to Cheshire Street Junction on 25 – 26 October.
• From Cheshre Street Junction to Bath Lane on 27 – 30 October.

Entry points will vary during each phase between 08:00 – 17:00.
