Road Carriageway Works – C92 – Murcott
Carriageway repair works programmed on C92 – Murcott.
The site extents can be viewed on the attached drawing: 117941-ATR-HSN-2627SD_0417-DR-CH-000001_C01
These works involve asphalt patch repairs, adjustment of ironwork, reinstatement of road markings and associated maintenance works.
The works will commence on Monday the 3rd of November 2025 and will be completed by Thursday the 6th of November 2025 between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00, however on occasions they may over run due to uncontrollable circumstances such as plant breakdowns, if weather conditions are unfavourable, or occasionally we discover the need for additional repairs once the work has started.
There will be advance information signs erected on site giving confirmed start dates.
Road Markings and Ironwork adjustments may need to be completed at a later date.
The main diversion route for all ‘through’ traffic whilst works are being undertaken within the road closure will be as per the attached road diversion drawing.
The Contractor will maintain pedestrian access for residents for the duration of the works; but depending upon what operation is being undertaken and where it’s being undertaken residents may find that when accessing or egressing from their property in their vehicle, they may experience a delay and have to wait for plant to be moved out of the carriageway. I have suggested to residents that when leaving their property, to allow extra time for any possible delays and when returning to their property, there will be traffic management operatives located at the extents of the works, to speak to them, explain where they live, and they will be able to assist.
There will be points during the material laying process where vehicular access will be restricted as residents won’t be able to drive over the newly laid material, as early trafficking could lead to premature failure, therefore I have recommended to residents that if works are being undertaken in the vicinity of their property to speak to the workforce in advance to ask if there will be any restrictions with regards to access.
Advanced signing will be erected and letter drops to all residents located within the site extents will commence week starting 20th of October 2025. Signing will be in place advising that local businesses will be open as usual.
