A series of night-time road closures will be in place on Dysart Road starting in early October.
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.”

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

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