There have been a flurry of comments already about the carriageway resurfacing works at the double mini roundabout from September 3rd. This is for three nights between sunset and sunrise.
A letter went out to some residents saying ‘”…traffic from the A415 Marcham Road can pass through the works into the B4017 Drayton Road during all three shifts. No other manoeuvres will be possible, and this will be controlled by a set of two-way traffic lights. Diversions will be in place for anybody wanting to access Spring Road or Ock Street.’
This explains some but not all possible journeys through this complex junction.
Here is the sunset last night – viewed from West St Helen Street,
and here is the sunrise this morning – viewed from St Helen’s Wharf.
Thanks for the posting, Backstreeter.
I live in Mill Road and did not receive the letter you mentioned. As you remark, the guidance is obscure. If you can turn from Marcham Road onto the B4017, I assume that the reverse manoeuvre will be possible since there is to be a set of two-way lights.
Let’s hope that a full repair is made to this junction and not the half-baked patching that has been put in place the last couple of times.
Good to see that they have changed the signs – they originally indicated that the roads would be closed during the day!
Well, I am glad they took note of what I said.
