Oasis Bridge – utility diversions and traffic management update

Prior to our main works commencing, UKPN must attend site to carry out permanent diversions to their apparatus and relocate shallow cables within ducting deeper in the ground. Due to UKPN’s availability they are unable to attend site as planned, however we anticipate these works will begin on Tuesday 4 May 2021.  

Where possible we are rearranging activities on site and carrying out advance works but please be advised there may be minimal activity on site prior to the diversion work commencing.

Throughout the various work phases, traffic management will be adjusted to ensure the safety of the public and workforce is maintained.  A number of overnight road closures will be required during certain aspects of the works. Overnight closures have provisionally been booked on the following dates:
