Temporary Road Closure, Middle Street, Blackhall Colliery

Last week we published details of road works scheduled to take place on two consecutive Saturdays this month to resurface Middle Street in Blackhall Colliery (please see post dated Friday 28 September 2018 for details).

We have now received details of traffic diversions which will be in place during both phases of works:

The diversion which will be in place will divert all traffic as below:

A1086 Middle Street, Blackhall Colliery Temporary Road Closure

An Order is being made under the provisions of Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 the effect of which will be to close to vehicular traffic, except for access for emergency service vehicles, between 7am and 7pm on the weekends of 6^th-7^th October 2018 and 13^th-14^th October 2018 a 360 metre length of Middle Street in two phases, from Blackhall Rafa Club and junction of First Street to The Hardwick Hotel (phase 1 – 170 metres), and from The Hardwick Hotel to the junction with Eighth Street (phase 2 – 190 metres).

The closure is necessary to enable carriageway resurfacing works to be undertaken.

Throughout the period of closure, an alternative route will be available to vehicular traffic from the northern point of the closure on A1086 Coast Road, then in a general westerly direction on B1320 Yoden Way, continuing onto Burnhope Way, then south on A19, then east on B1281, then north west on A1086 Coast Road to southern point of closure, and vice versa.

Locals will obviously know ways around the closure to get from one end of the village to the other.

The first phase will see the road closed between the Co-op and the Hardwick PH, the second phase will see the road closed between the Hardwick PH and the Primary School.
