Enabling works
Essential enabling works are due to begin at a number of locations along the A511 corridor.
These works are critical to ensure the safe delivery of the scheme and inform future network enhancements, reducing risks and improving long-term road user safety.
To ensure the works can be delivered safely while minimising disruption to road users, temporary traffic management arrangements will be in place at the following locations:

Frequently Asked Questions - A511 Broom Leys Road junction works
Why is this work being carried out?
BT Openreach needs to carry out essential diversionary utility works before the planned A511 improvement scheme can progress. Completing these works now helps prepare the area for future improvements.
Will I see any improvements once this work is finished?
Not immediately. This is preparatory work involving telecommunications infrastructure, so there will be little visible change once the works are complete. However, it's an important step in enabling the future A511 improvement scheme.
Why is traffic management needed?
Traffic management such as temporary traffic lights and lane closures allow the work to be carried out safely while keeping the junction open to traffic, protecting road users and the workforce.
Who is carrying out the work?
The works are being undertaken by MJ Quinn on behalf of BT Openreach as part of the preparations needed to support the delivery of the A511 improvement scheme and its long-term benefits for road users and local communities.
