The Roads Section are pleased to advise the public that slurry works on Phase 5 of the Road Resurfacing Project (Longwood Gate to Hutts Gate) have been successfully completed. No further road closures are planned for this section.
Final finishing works will continue along the sides of the road over the coming days. Motorists are kindly asked to drive with caution, as road workers may still be operating in this area throughout this weekend and into next week.
The main slurry team has now moved to the final phase of the project, covering the stretch between Briar’s Junction and Button-up Corner. Preparation works are ongoing, and slurry operations are expected to commence during the new week.
Please note that the existing weekday road closure (09:00 – 15:00) on this section will remain in place until late March. Initial works will take place between the top of the concrete section of Side Path Road and Briars Junction, carried out in half-widths with traffic directed as required. Appropriate signage will be in place.
The Roads Section thanks the public for their continued patience and cooperation as these essential works progress.
