Notice of Upcoming Overnight Highway Improvement Works

Cambridgeshire County Council will be carrying out essential highway improvement works in Haddenham. We are writing to provide advance notice so that residents and businesses can plan their journeys accordingly.

The works will involve the installation of new 20mph road markings and red high-friction surfacing at the four main entrances to the village where the speed limit changes to 20mph. These measures are intended to improve driver awareness of the speed limit change and enhance road safety for all road users.

To minimise disruption during the day, the works will be carried out overnight from 8:00pm on 17 November and are expected to be completed within one night.

The works will be undertaken under traffic management, which may include temporary road closures and signed diversion routes. As work is completed at each village entrance, the traffic management will be removed and moved to the next location. This phased approach means that not all village entrances will be closed at the same time and will allow the works to be carried out safely and as efficiently as possible.

What does this mean for you?

·       We will make every effort to maintain access for residents and businesses wherever it is safe to do so.

·       There may be short delays when accessing or leaving your property while the works are in progress.

·       Depending on the location of the works, residents may be asked to approach their property from an alternative direction.

·       Some activities, including the installation of road markings and specialist surfacing materials, may generate noise. We apologise in advance for any disturbance and will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum.

Could the works be delayed?

While every effort will be made to complete the works on the stated date, the programme is dependent on suitable weather conditions and other factors outside of our control. If necessary, the works may be postponed and rescheduled at short notice.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we carry out these important highway safety improvements.
