Operatives will work around the clock from 8.00pm on Friday 25 November to 6.00am on Monday 28 November to ensure the works are completed in the shortest time possible, reducing disruption to road users.

“We have listened to feedback from the local community regarding the timing of the works, however this essential work must be carried out to ensure the longevity of the road surface on this route.
“We have made every effort to programme these works over the shortest period of time, therefore reducing disruption to road users; however motorists particularly those use the ferry ports should plan their journeys accordingly.”
