Tinsley viaduct traffic warning

ROADWORKS on the Tinsley viaduct are likely to cause disruption when operations switch to the south-bound side this week.

The work mean that the southbound carriageway will be closed and vehicles less than 3.1m wide will be diverted onto the central service road of Tinsley Viaduct’s lower deck.

Vehicles wider than 3.1m will be diverted onto other roads.

Drivers using the viaduct's southbound lower deck are advised to plan their journeys and allow extra time to travel along this route.

The Highways Agency says refurbishment on viaduct’s lower deck expansion joints is going well and the work will continue until early November.

Highways Agency project manager, Tim Calvert, said: “Our contactors have been working to complete this work as soon as possible and we are pleased with the progress we have made so far.
