From Monday 22 April 2024 works will be taking place to resurface A49 London Road, Appleton, from just north of Fairways to just south of Dudlow Green Road.

The road and its side roads will be closed between 7:00pm and 1:00am Monday to Friday (Saturday morning) for up to 6 weeks to undertake the works safely.

All roads will be fully open to traffic outside these times.

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times during the works.

Vehicular access will be under the control of the Contractor on site.

Vehicles parked on the road, verge or footway obstructing the works may be removed.

The signed diversion route will be via Longwood Road, Broom Avenue, Lyon's Lane and vice versa.

Information on bus diversions will be posted at stops ahead of the start of the scheme.

Residents needing access to closed sections of road should speak to the contractor as they will provide as much access as is safe to do so, however there will be times, for example when the road surface is being removed or relaid when there may be no access for several hours.

Cones, barriers and signs are there for a reason - to protect our workers from danger and to keep the public safe. We urge drivers to pay close attention to safety when driving near roadworks.
