What do I need to know about the road closure?

Road closures are sometimes essential for the safety of road users and our operatives. If you are based within the closure, we will maintain access where possible. However, there may be times when access is delayed or restricted. If you are based outside of the closure, you will need to follow the diversion route. Please plan your journeys accordingly and speak to operatives on-site if you require further information.

A plan showing the roads that will be closed and the diversion route can be seen to the side of this page.

When they close the road and put a diversion in place, the route needs to be accessible to vehicles of all shapes and sizes.

They make their diversions as clear as possible by placing appropriate signing along the route.

The latest updates on  their works can be found on the One.Network website.
