Update 31 January:
Work is continuing at Benwick Road, Whittlesey, with the road set to re-open in early March 2025. This is slightly later than planned due to challenging ground conditions during construction. These works require a full road closure to allow for the road to be reconstructed and resurfaced. A signed diversion route is in place with access maintained for residents and businesses throughout the works.
The emergency lane closure on Ralph Butcher Causeway, due to cracking in the road, remains in place. The investigative work, including all the tests, have been completed. Jones Bros are considering a number of design options to finalise the preferred option for the required remedial work.
We plan to start work on site in May, subject to the necessary approvals, and it is anticipated the remedial work would be completed in September. We will be able to share more details on the programme once we have the full details from our contractor, Jones Bros. We’d like to reassure people, whichever option is chosen, it is currently anticipated that the work can be carried out and completed under a lane closure. A full road closure will not be required. We apologise for the inconvenience.
