Rotherwas access road - further traffic arrangements

Motorists in Hereford are being advised that three-way temporary traffic signals are to be erected on Monday next week, September 17, at the junction of Holme Lacy Road with Gatehouse Road and Chapel Lane.

Lights are now needed at this junction to enable the council's contractor, McAlpine, to complete the construction of the new four-arm roundabout for the Rotherwas access road.

Works have been ongoing in recent months to construct sections of the roundabout beside the roads at the junction.

However the works will now encroach onto the roads and the temporary traffic lights are needed to allow contractors to work safely.

These lights will be at this location for a period of approximately three months until mid-December 2007.

Motorists should also be advised that they will be directed through the junction in a number of ways as various new sections of carriageway are constructed.

Signs will be in place at all times to ensure smooth operation of the junction.

Every effort will be made to minimise delays.
