Breakspear Road South weekend closure update:

To reduce the number of HS2 lorries using local roads we are building an internal haul road between our construction sites, crossing Breakspear Road South. To build the crossing point we will need to close Breakspear Road South from 19-22 March 2021. Closing the road and working over a single weekend will reduce the impact on traffic flow in the area and to allow us to work safely.

For further information please see our update works notification.

Breakspear Road South closures - further update:

We are trying to reduce the number of lorries using local roads. To this end we are continuing to set up a crossing point for our internal haul Road across Breakspear Road South.

To ensure that this area is ready for our future works we will need to construct wider junctions. These bell-mouth junctions make it easier for lorries to negotiate turns and ensure that they do not enter the opposite carriageways. We will also secure stronger verges, erect hoarding and carry out modifications to the pedestrian footways and crossings. Most of the works on the carriageways will be under lane closures.

However, there will be night time full road closures needed on 23 February and 14 March. This is to ensure that the installation of traffic barriers and bell mouth access can be carried out safely.

For further information please see our further update works notification.
