Will the whole road be closed off?
No, they don’t close a road end to end. The road will be closed to through traffic, but local access will be maintained, in both directions, up to the section of road where the team is working.
To find the location of the team, visit the interactive map below.
A diversion route is provided
When SSEN close a road, a temporary diversion route will be in place. The diversion route must be suitable for all diverted traffic and be of a similar grade of carriageway. Road signage will direct traffic to use the shortest available route, which meets these requirements.
There are other shorter routes available for cars and vans, which local road users may choose to use. However, these will not be signed in case HGVs follow the route.
