  • During this period all routes will remain open, including the Gallows Corner flyover, and temporary footway diversions will be in place.
  • Approach roads and local roads will be very busy during the works. Significant queues and delays are expected. Journeys made before 07:30 and after 19:00 may experience less disruption.
