The route will remain open to emergency service vehicles.

The notification adds that co-ordination with NMWTRA and Local Authority Streetworks Managers regarding all aspects of the works (including suitability of diversion route) will be undertaken.

It goes on: "Full consideration has been given to the impact of the work on road users, residents and work force e.g. Type of temporary traffic management (Full road closures with local diversions, contra flow, lane closures etc. road space, date of works, time of works, other works etc.)

"Information signs will be erected prior to the works advising the travelling public of the closure dates and times.
