皇冠体育app

Road users will benefit from smoother, safer journeys thanks to the Highways Agency improvement scheme between junctions 49 and 58 in Ipswich.

皇冠体育app scheme which includes resurfacing, drainage renewal, replacing barriers, embankment work and removing defects in the road, will start on Monday and is due to be completed by Friday 20 March, weather permitting.

皇冠体育app work will be carried out in four phases, overnight during the week, between 8pm and 6am

Highways Agency project sponsor, Andy Dyer said:

This is a 拢1 million scheme which is taking place to prolong the life of the carriageway. 皇冠体育app work has been designed to improve the surface of the road and improve safety for road users, while minimising the need for future maintenance works in these locations.

We ask that drivers take care travelling through the roadworks and along the diversion routes. 鈥淲e always try to minimise inconvenience to road users when we are carrying out work, which is why the scheme has been planned to take place overnight, so I would urge motorists to plan ahead and allow extra time in case of any delays.

皇冠体育app work is being carried out in four phases:

• 皇冠体育app first phase will begin on Monday (9 February) between junctions 49 and 50 (Stowupland). 皇冠体育app eastbound carriageway will be closed for three nights for resurfacing and motorists will be diverted via the A1308 and A1120. At the same time, under lane closures drainage renewal work will be carried out for six nights and central reserve barrier work on the westbound carriageway for three nights.

• 皇冠体育app second phase will begin on Tuesday (10 February) between junctions 51 and 52 (Pesthouse Lane). 皇冠体育app eastbound carriageway will be closed for eight nights for resurfacing and motorists will be diverted via Norwich Road and Old Ipswich Road. 皇冠体育appre will also be works on the westbound exit slip road at junction 52 (Claydon) for resurfacing for three nights from 3 March and motorists will be diverted to junction 51 and back.

• 皇冠体育app third phase will begin on Monday 23 February between junctions 52 and 55 (Copdock). 皇冠体育app carriageway will be closed in both directions for removing defects in the road for five nights and motorists will be diverted via the B1113, A1071 and A1214.
