• There will be a rolling programme of road closures within Clare as re-surfacing work takes place.
• The map indicates the likely phases of resurfacing starting on Wednesday 18th June.
• No work will take place on Saturday or Sunday.
• The red bars on the maps indicate barrier points, some of which will be manned to allow access.
• All vehicles must be removed from the roads and some of the parking areas as the edge of the road will need to be re-laid.
• All pavements will remain open, however it might be difficult to get along some of the narrower ones.
• Road closures notices will be placed at Long Melford and Baythorne Bridge and in Haverhill.
• Traffic will move freely from early am until 2pm.
• From 2pm only essential traffic will be allowed to pass the working vehicles – by ‘essential traffic’ Suffolk County Council Highways mean buses, school transport and for access purposes. It will be a rough surface with raised ironworks and could be on either side of the road.
• From 6.15pm some access will be available for ‘residential vehicles’ but they may have to wait or drive the other way and find an alternative route.
• Refuse collections should be unaffected, as will be public and school bus services. As long as all these vehicles are before 18:15 - some commercial refuse collection may be different.
• There is no information currently as to whether the country park parking will be free for the period.
• The road closures are the responsibility of Suffolk County Council and its contractor.
