A 38 TUNNEL CLOSURES WILL MEAN DELAYS FOR SOME OSCOTT RESIDENTS

RE: Dates confirmed for 2014 tunnels closures

Following on from the tunnels closures last year, this summer’s dates for the second phase of the essential refurbishment works in the A38 tunnels through the city centre have been released.

Oscott residents are advised that the St Chad’s and Queensway tunnels will be completely closed to all traffic from 10pm on Friday 18 July until 6am on Monday 1 September. This year’s closures will be preceded by two weeks of overnight closures, from 10pm to 6am, and followed by up to four weeks of similar overnight closures.

 PLEASE ENSURE YOU TAKE THESE CLOSURES INTO ACCOUNT AND TRY AND MAKE ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS WHEN TRYING TO GET TO WORK.

The second phase of the works will complete the upgrade to the tunnels by renewing the ventilation system, installing new security and communications systems, replacing electrical systems and refurbishing pumping stations and plant rooms.
