Preparatory work is already under way, with the main works due to begin over the weekend of 01 July when the roundabout will be completely closed from 7pm on Saturday 1st to 1pm on Sunday 2nd. Access to properties on the roads approaching the roundabout will be maintained and signage will be erected at appropriate advance locations advising of the closure and directing traffic on alternative routes.
