The majority of the civils work on this scheme will be complete by early December 2020. We then have to resurface Whittle Avenue on the approach to the roundabout and the roundabout itself, whilst maintaining access to Malvern Close at all times.
The resurfacing works will commence on Monday 7 December and be complete by Friday 11 December 2020. After that date, the carriageway will be open in both directions on Whittle Avenue. Further details will be provided nearer the time on the traffic management proposals for the surfacing work as it will involve various road closures and multi-way traffic signals. All the above dates are dependent on the weather.
Phase 1
This is due to be completed on 29 May 2020.
Phase 2
Work will be undertaken on Lingley Green Avenue eastbound on the approach to the roundabout. To carry out this work, we'll be installing a 24/7 eastbound closure on Lingley Green Avenue between Sophia Drive roundabout and Whittle Ave for approximately 7 – 8 weeks. Westbound traffic will be unaffected until we start the surfacing element of the scheme. When it comes to the surfacing works, we'll be installing a full-time closure between 9.30 am - 3.30 pm with full diversion routes in place for approximately one week.
Phase 3
Work will be undertaken on Whittle Avenue southbound on the approach to the roundabout. To carry out this work, we'll be installing a 24/7 southbound closure on Whittle Avenue between Burtonwood Road roundabout and Malvern Close for approximately 5 – 7 weeks. Northbound traffic will be unaffected until we start the surfacing element of the scheme. When it comes to the surfacing works, we'll be installing a full-time closure between 9.30 am - 3.30 pm with full diversion routes in place for approximately one week.
The fourth and final phase
This will include resurfacing works on the roundabout where there will be multi-way traffic signals in operation to carry out this phase for approximately one week. Malvern Close will remain open at all times. We'll regularly notify you over every aspect of this scheduled work.
As with any planned schedule, certain aspects may be subject to change. We'll communicate any amendments to phasing via our website and the West Warrington Highways email database.
