The current phase in Lower High Street/Coppins Bridge has been completed this afternoon (Thursday) ahead of schedule, paving the way for the project to move on to its next location.
The next area to be worked on will be the traffic signals at the foot of Snooks Hill/Coppins Bridge and those at the bottom of the dual carriageway/Coppins Bridge on Monday.
During this work which begins on Monday (January 31), there will be temporary traffic lights at each location which will be controlled by operatives during the day.
There will be no daytime lane closures. If there is a need for lane closures, these will be done at night when traffic volumes are obviously lighter.
This phase is due to be completed on February 18.
Scott Burborough, Island Roads powered apparatus manager, said:
“As many people will know, the current phase has involved the closure of Newport’s Lower High Street and we would like to place on record our thanks to the local community for all the support and understanding during works.
“We have worked with local businesses before and during the scheme to plan for and accommodate their access needs and the support of these businesses in particular over the past few weeks has played a big part in helping us finish this phase in good time.”
On completion of this, work will move to the final phase which is the traffic signals at Fairlee Road/Link Road, Staplers Road/Snooks Hill and Medina Way/Link Road.
This phase may be more impactful on road users and further details will be published in advance of work.
