Dysart Road night closures to start next month

Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Starting in early October, we’ll have reached the stage of our Dysart Road improvements where we’re ready to start laying the new road surfacing to the eastern end of site – near the junction with Sankt Augustin Way. 

“And then, starting early November, we’ll make a start surfacing the western end of site between Trent Road and the A1 overbridge. 

“We’ll be using over 8,000 tonnes of road building materials which will require us to close off the areas where we’re working so the material can be safely laid and left to cure overnight.”

Dates and timeframes

• Phase 1: Friday 4 October for one month, weekday evenings only (except for the weekends of 5th - 6th October and 12th - 13th October where works will be carried out on Saturday evenings)
• Phase 2: Tuesday 5 November for two weeks, weekday evenings only 

Location of works

• Phase 1: Between Dysart Road railway bridge and Trent Road 
• Phase 2: From Trent Road to Low Road (just west of the A1 overbridge)

“I want to thank everyone for patience during these closures, as I know they’ll cause some disruption.”
