Working on behalf of
0300 123 5000 Works for January 2017
Section 1 & 2 - Alconbury to the East Coast Main Line
We will complete the safety barrier on the A1 southbound carriage way south of
Alconbury. This will allow us to finish site clearance and start construction of the new
carriageway in safe working conditions whilst keeping all A1 lanes flowing.
A review of the site clearance areas on the northbound carriageway, north of
Brampton Hut, will be undertaken prior to removal.
Archaeology investigation and mitigation will continue which will allow the main
works to progress in 2017.
Section 3 - East Coast Main Line to Swavesey
Preparation of the compound at Ermine street is expected to be completed in late
January.
Works will also continue on fencing, archaeology and site clearance.
Section 4 & 5 - Swavesey to Milton
The main compound at Swavesey will be ready for occupation in January 2017, with
a new entrance created near to the traffic island at Cambridge services.
Archaeology will continue at Girton Junction and next to the A14 close to the Dry
Drayton turn.
Site clearance will continue in preparation for construction works and this will mean a
number of lane closures along the A14. These works will be undertaken at night
between 8pm and 6am to minimise any disruption. Where necessary the details of
necessary traffic management will be forwarded to the appropriate parish councils in
advance.
