STOCKTON Council extends its apologies to motorists for the unavoidable delays to work being carried out at the A1027 Ring Road, Bishopton Avenue/Bishopton Road West near Sainsburys in Stockton. Work planned during the school summer holidays and originally due to be completed by 1 September will now be extended until the end of September. Excavations have revealed a crucial telecommunications cable at the wrong height and which must be taken to a lower level before works to widen the road can go ahead. Existing signals, including pedestrian facilities, will remain in operation until the new signals can be brought into use. Two traffic lanes will remain on the Bishopton Road West approach to the junction instead of the planned three until the works are complete and some delays can be expected in peak hours. The works are designed to remove conflicts and improve road safety at the junction with road widening and the latest traffic signal technology being introduced to ensure queues and delays do not increase http://www.stockton.gov.uk |
