A 50mph speed restriction will be in place for the lane closures, during the convoy working a 10mph speed restriction will be in place for safety reasons and traffic will be escorted through the works by a highway maintenance vehicle. There will also be restricted access to the A64 via Onham’s lane.Highways Agency project manager, Andrew Brown, said: “This work will improve road safety along this stretch of the A64. In order to minimise disruption to road-users the work will be carried out overnight on week-nights only, when traffic flows are lower. We ask that drivers take extra care when travelling through the roadworks.” |
