During the course of the construction programme for the Main Onshore Pipeline, our construction contractor, United Infrastructure (UI), may need to implement temporary traffic management measures to ensure the safety of the community and operatives on site.
These measures also aim to keep traffic flowing as freely and as safely as possible while construction is taking place.
Temporary traffic management measures may be required for short periods near temporary construction compounds and the associated access tracks. Measures might include:
- Temporary diversions and closures of Public Rights of Way (PRoW) where they interact with the construction traffic routes. These will be agreed with Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWCC) and Flintshire County Council (FCC) in advance.
- Traffic control measures to manage traffic at temporary access points, such as priority signs, stop/go boards or portable temporary traffic lights along with additional approach signage to reduce speeds.
Where required all temporary traffic management measures will be signposted at least three working days prior to the measures being implemented. The notice period will depend on the amount of time the measures will be in place for. Within Wales, any signs will be bi-lingual, in line with the Welsh Language [Wales] Measure 2011.
All traffic and road data is recorded by CWCC and FCC on their respective interactive maps. To find out more about the potential traffic management measures near you please visit:
