Work for Autumn 2011

Redlands Lane junction
Redlands Lane will be reopened to traffic on the 23rd of December. Through January work will continue with the installation of the toucan crossing and the installation of new traffic lights either side of the bridge. Occasional temporary traffic lights will be required to allow the works in this area to be completed. There is a possibility of a further short duration road closure to complete work adjacent to the old bridge. This will only be necessary if it is assessed that the safety of pedestrians, motorists and the workforce will be compromised by keeping the road open to complete this work. Please refer to the traffic information page for updates.

Construction of footways and bus stops will be ongoing through the winter period with installation of the bus shelters at the end of January. Other works include the installation of the BRT access barriers.
