Period of off-peak temporary traffic signals overruns…Off-peak temporary traffic lights, originally planned to be in use for "up to two weeks" [from 2nd Sep] at the railway bridge on Gipsy Patch Lane will now be required for "at least a further week", says South Gloucestershire Council.
Statement issued today (Friday 13th September)…
The three-way temporary traffic lights at the railway bridge on Gipsy Patch Lane are to remain in place for at least a further week. Contractors are currently installing crossings on Gipsy Patch Lane as part of preparation works for the bridge replacement next year. The extension to the temporary lights is needed to enable additional work to lower a utility cable.
Safety is paramount and given the limited space around the railway bridge the temporary lights help protect workers and members of the public whilst this work is completed.
This additional work will not affect the project’s timetable.
The temporary lights will only operate Monday to Friday during off-peak hours and pedestrians and cyclists will continue to be able to pass under the railway bridge. Cyclists may be asked to dismount.
Once this work is completed the temporary traffic lights will be replaced with automated Stop/Go boards on Gipsy Patch Lane. These will only be used as needed when workers and machinery from the construction site need to safely cross Gipsy Patch Lane. Their use will be kept to a minimum and as far as possible will be kept to off-peak times.
All shops and businesses on and near Gipsy Patch Lane will be open as normal.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your continued patience. We will continue to keep local residents, commuters and businesses up to date on the project.
