A4 (Bath Road) Sustainable Travel Scheme Construction

Bulletin #007 – 8th August 2019

We are grateful for everyone's cooperation and patience whilst we’ve been using the 4-way light set up at the Berry Hill junction. These lights will be in place until 16th August; however we’ve now been able to move the lights closer to the working area which will reduce the length under traffic light control. This should result in shorter delays.

From week commencing 19^th August we will need to use 24hr two-way lights for five days (19^th - 23^rd August) to complete works outside the Miller and Carter restaurant (we will make use of road narrowings and avoid using traffic lights where safe to do so).  We are committed to reducing disturbance and traffic delays and have scheduled these works during school holidays to minimise inconvenience.

Variable message signs have been installed on site to inform motorists of planned works, dates and duration of works. Posts on Twitter and Facebook are being published regularly to keep members of the public informed of planned works.

• The cycleway main works started 23rd April 2019. The scheme is anticipated to be complete in November 2019.
• The main works are being carried out along the northern side of the A4 Bath Road to create a shared use footway and cycleway between Ellington Road and Huntercombe Lane North.
• The table below shows the percentage completion of works.

• We will be manning the traffic lights during the duration of the works to ensure that we minimise delays as far as practicable.
• Normal working hours are between 7:00am and 5:00 pm weekdays. 
• Information signs have been erected to highlight the planned works, dates and duration of works.
• We will continue to maintain normal access and emergency access to properties during the works.
• We recognise that there is likely to be traffic disruption during the works and we will continue to monitor conditions closely and respond accordingly.
