Hide AdIt said that from Monday, February 5, to Sunday, March 3, ‘temporary traffic signals will be in place, along with a temporary reduced speed limit of 30mph to allow for kerbing works to take place’.
The council said these works will involve installing a new kerb line and replacing existing kerbs.
The letter said that from Monday to Thursday, March 4-7, the road will be closed to through traffic between 7pm and 6am ‘to allow carriageway patch repairs to be carried out’. There will be advanced warning signs on the site about this as well.
The letter said: “For the road closures, a diversion route will be in place via B2112, A23, A27 and vice versa. If you need vehicle access, please discuss this with the team on site to see if this is possible. Please bear in mind there will be delays while the area is made safe and your vehicle is escorted by site marshals.”
The letter added: “Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.”
