Resurfacing Night works taking place 28 October-11 November 2024

There are some changes to night working dates and road closures happening in Kelham and Neepsend. Originally night works were due to take place from 14 October 2024 until 18 October 2024. However, due to recent adverse weather conditions we've had to postpone the work.

Night working will now take place on weekdays from:

28 October until 11 November, 7pm – 5am.

We’re resurfacing Neepsend Lane and surrounding roads in Neepsend. We’ll need to close some roads so that we can resurface large sections. If you’re travelling at night, please follow the diversion signs which will be in place.

Some road movements have recently changed in Neepsend:

• Hicks Street has changed from two-way to one-way, on the approach from Burton Road.
• Neepsend Lane has become two-way from Percy Street to Rutland Road, to allow access to residential properties and businesses. There is no longer a route through Rutland Road junction.

During the second week of night works, week commencing 4 November, we’ll resurface the roads and place down new white lines, formalising the final changes to road movements in Neepsend:

• Burton Road will become two-way, from Mowbray Street to Rutland Road.
• A bus gate will come into effect, from Burton Road, through Rutland Road junction to Neepsend Lane.
• In the opposite direction (approaching from Rutland Road), a bus gate will come into effect after Percy Street. All motorists except for buses approaching from Rutland Road junction will need to turn left at Percy Street.
• Percy Street will become one-way from Burton Road to Hicks Street.
• Platt Street will become one-way from Hicks Street to Harvest Lane.
• All arms at Rutland Road junction will be straight-ahead only, with no permitted left or right turns.

We’ve included a map which identifies the main routes around Neepsend once the new white lines are placed on the road.
