We have been made aware of some upcoming works at the the junction of The Witheys and A37 Bristol Road between 22/10/2022 – 23/10/2022.
These works are being carried out by Wales and West Utilities to install a new gas service.
Due to the location of these works and the requirement of temporary traffic signals for safety reasons the works have been scheduled in for weekend working only.
Wales and West Utilities will use multi way temporary traffic signals with a synchronised temporary pedestrian crossing as the permanent crossing will need to be switched off due to its close proximity to the works. We understand that these works are very likely to cause delays however have concluded this type of traffic management option will be the most practical and least disruptive option.
Wales and West Utilities have been instructed to manually control the temporary traffic signals from 07:00 – 21:00 hours both days with priority given to A37 unless vehicles are waiting to exit The Witheys. They have also confirmed that the works will be complete and site cleared as soon as possible and are aware that they must be completed by the end of Sunday 23/10/2022.
They have also confirmed that they will be placing out advanced information boards and letter dropping residents and shop frontages.
