Queen's Road Resurfacing Starts Tuesday 11th July 2006

08 August 2006

Transport and Technical Services would like to remind road users that the Queen’s Road resurfacing works starts on Tuesday 11 July. There will be restricted traffic flows Monday to Friday from 9am until 4pm and from 6.30pm until 9pm , and on Saturday from 8am until 1pm . Normal two way traffic will be maintained during weekday peak hours (7.30 to 9am and 4 to 6:30pm) so as not to disrupt the morning and evening rush hour traffic, at all other times diversion routes will be signed. Customer access to businesses will be maintained.

There will be no change for traffic travelling North, but southbound traffic will be required to divert via New St John’s Road or La Poquelaye. Significant delays are expected during working hours, especially at Cheapside. Motorists are advised to avoid the area where possible.

The first phase of the works lasting 3 weeks is in Queens Road from Pen Y Craig Avenue to the junction with New St John’s Road and is part of an eleven week programme to resurface the stretch of road right through to the Union Inn, most of which was last resurfaced some 20 years ago.
