To demolish the old bridge safely, the A5 will be closed between Mancetter and Holly Lane as follows; A5 full closure from 8pm on Friday 17 June to 6am on Monday 20 June. Please be advised that whilst we demolish the old bridge, pedestrian access across the A5 will be closed for reasons surrounding safety. We believe access across the A5 will be reinstated by Wednesday 22 May. However, our contractor will aim to have access reinstated at the earliest convenience, and a time that it is safe to do so. Our work is subject to change due to weather or any unforeseen circumstances. For any further updates, please subscribe to our mailing list by emailing noreplyA5WMids@nationalhighways.co.uk. If you’ve previously subscribed no further action required. We’ll make every effort to manage noise and additional lighting whilst we work at this location to minimise the impact on local residents. We’ll also aim to reopen the carriageway as soon as it is safe to do so.
