Shortly before Christmas I published advance notification of road works scheduled to take place later this week along the A1086 Coast Road between Blackhall Colliery and Blackhall Rocks (please see post dated Friday 18 December 2020 for details).
Those road works are scheduled to commence tomorrow morning so following queries from residents in the immediate area I asked the highways services team for information about the likely impact of the works on residents' access to their properties along the Coast Road. This is the response I received this afternoon:
Access will be maintained
as much as possible for residents to avoid too much disruption, we will also
have a DCC supervisor and traffic management supervisors on site at all times
should anyone need any assistance or have any questions.
The only time that
access will be fully restricted will be when the existing surface is being
planed off and when the new surfacing material is laid, this will only be for a
short period of time. The works will be carried out in phases, however we are
unable to fully confirm the extents of those due to the weather.
There will be traffic signals in place and these will be in line with each phase of the works, so it will not be the full extent of the works. They will also be manually controlled in order to have as little delay as possible. It will be 2 way lights for the straight stretches of road, and we will have 4 way lights for the junction at Station Road/Mickle Hill Road. Notification letters were also delivered in advance, they contain the contact numbers if residents do have any problems or questions throughout the works.
