Access for residents and businesses will be maintained when possible and safe to do so, pedestrian access to properties will not be affected, and emergency vehicles will always have access.

The county council said that information signs advising road users would be erected before the start of works.

A notification for the works read: “While there is an allowance within the time periods shown above for delays, there may be times when we must postpone works at very short notice; based on the latest weather forecasts, this can occur just prior to works commencing.

“We will always look to provide up-to-date information wherever we can, but sometimes these last-minute decisions can be difficult to relay to the travelling public in a timely manner. When we can, any significant changes to the scheduled dates will be made clear on the yellow sign boards located at the works limits.”
