The Order came into force on 6th March 2020 for a maximum of six months or until the works are complete, whichever is the sooner. Traffic affected by the closures will be diverted using the A33, A35, A3057 and Brownhill Way. The diversion route will vary depending on direction of travel. Pedestrian diversion routes will be available, including temporary pedestrian crossings. The temporary speed limit, narrow lanes, overtaking ban, closures and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
