Outwith working hours, traffic management will be removed and the road will be open as usual. There will be no works on Friday or Saturday nights.
Access for emergency services will be maintained for the full duration of the works.
Consultation has taken place with all relevant stakeholders in advance of the resurfacing improvements to make them aware of the traffic management arrangements.
