Road closure advance notice
News - 2 March 2007
The main road between Feering and Tiptree (B1023) will be subject to extensive road works and will be closed to through traffic for a period of approximately 8 weeks, beginning the week commencing Monday 2 April 2007.
The Highways Authority have given the Parish Council notice that they intend to carry out road works on the B1023, which is the main road linking Feering at Gore Pit Corner (The Old Anchor public house) and the centre of Tiptree. The work will include carriageway resurfacing; new sections of kerbing; small lengths of new footway; improved signing; and the cutting back of all adjacent hedging.
The work will begin during the week commencing Monday 2 April 2007 (although hedge cutting work will be undertaken prior to this) and is expected to last approximately 8 weeks.
The road will be closed to through traffic although access to all properties will be available at all times.
A proposed, lengthy, diversionary route directing drivers northwards towards Colchester will be arranged, although local traffic is expected to find alternative local routes. Given the extensive nature of these proposed works local people who travel between Kelvedon and Tiptree should anticipate that their journey times will increase and extra time should be allowed. The Highways Authority has put arrangements in hand in respect of public and school transport affected.
This information will be updated on receipt of further information from the Highways Authority.
