From: Highways Communications
Dear all, We are writing to inform you of our plans to undertake bridge-strengthening preparation works to the north of Snape Bridge (Phase 1). The main bridge strengthening is briefly detailed below (Phase 2); however, we will contact you again closer to the time to confirm details.
[August] Phase 1 (Preparation) - De-silt and survey the structure
Works are programmed to start on 3rd August and will continue until 7th August. It will be necessary for the road to be closed at the bridge, for the full duration of works (24/7). If we need to make major changes to our work dates, due to bad weather or other delays beyond our control, we will update the information signs on site.
For the duration of the road closure, traffic will be diverted via B1069, A1094, A12, B1078, B1069 & vice versa. [This is the usual diversion route from Snape Church, Friday Street, Lower Hacheston interchange, Campsea Ashe, Tunstall to Snape Bridge, and reverse — other local routes are available!]
Pedestrian & cyclist access will be maintained at all times however, this will be managed by our teams on site.
[November] Phase 2 (Strengthening works) – Installation of structural lining system: The works are programmed to start on 9th November and will continue until 27th November. A 24/7 road closure will be required for the duration of this final phase. Traffic and pedestrians will be managed as above.
... When we close the road and put a diversion in place, the route needs to be accessible to vehicles of all shapes and sizes. We make our diversions as clear as possible by placing appropriate signing along the route. The latest updates on our works can be found on our website at "Temporary road closures for Suffolk Highways roadworks" and on One.Network website.
There may be times that essential emergency works are required to take place on the highway network without advanced notice – you can follow Suffolk Highways on Twitter for the latest emergency roadwork updates.
Please could you use any contacts within your division or parish to circulate this notification. Please contact us on ☏ 0345 606 6171 if you have any questions.
