Parapets on structure in Leasingham are getting New Year works programme
Moor Farm Bridge in Leasingham will have crumbling brick parapets taken down and replaced at the start of the New Year.
The programme of works is scheduled to begin on January 3 and continue until January 30. It is worth noting that these dates could possibly move because of unforeseen circumstance or bad winter weather.
The A153 is a busy road at this location and the on-site crew will be working hard to minimise the disruption to traffic with a mandatory 20mph temporary speed restriction in place throughout the duration of the schedule. In order to ensure the safety of road users and the work team undertaking the specialist work, traffic will also be directed by two-way traffic signals.
These will be manually controlled between 07:00 and 18:00 to allow peak traffic flows to get through the works from whichever direction is best needed at a specific time.
Karen Cassar Assistant Director of Highways said: “This is difficult and time-consuming work that our crew will be carrying out at the start of the New Year, but by doing this now we are ensuring the safety and usability of the bridge.
“By lowering the speed limit and using manually operated two-way signals, we hope to keep the amount of disruption down the absolute minimum. Some inconvenience for road users will be inevitable with essential maintenance such as this, but we are doing our best to lessen the impact.
“I would like to express my gratitude to those affected by the extensive works programme here for their patience whilst we get the job done. We will very soon have this road back to full use and ensure this bridge’s future as part of the network for years to come.”
