MOTORISTS are being warned to expect night-time road closures.

As part of on-going improvement works in Tuns Lane drivers are being made aware of road closures in Chalvey on Monday and Tuesday.

Work is needed on Tuns Lane bridge – where Tuns Lane crosses Keel Drive and Chalvey High Street – which will require the bridge to be shut from 8pm on Monday until 6am on Tuesday.

As a result, Keel Drive will be closed at the junction of Paxton Avenue and Chalvey High Street will be closed at the junction of Brammas Close.

Diversions will be in place and pedestrian access will not be affected.

If work cannot be completed on Monday night, it may continue on Tuesday night, when the same closure would be in place from 8pm until 6am on Wednesday morning.

The work is being done at night to minimise the impact. However, motorists are being advised to avoid the area.

The £5.5m Tuns Lane improvement scheme involves turning the Copthorne roundabout - the junction of Tuns Lane with Church Street and Cippenham Lane - into will be a so-called hamburger roundabout, where the main carriageway – in this case Tuns Lane - goes straight through the middle of the junction.

The roundabout will also get a new ‘intelligent’ traffic light system which senses traffic jams and adjusts the sequencing of the lights accordingly.

Sections of Tuns Lane are also being widened to three lanes.

Work is expected to be complete by November.
