Drivers warned as city prepares for road closures
Darren Calpin/LDRSMotorists are being advised to check their journey routes as a city prepares for multiple road closures for planned works.
Peterborough City Council has served notice that roads in north, south and central parts of the city will be closed off for works including ducting, cabling, and pipe repairs.
Diversions are being offered for some of the closures, but in other cases, there are no alternative routes.
The village of Newborough will also see restrictions to its main thoroughfare.
The council gave these details of the various closures, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service:
Cranemore, Werrington
From Monday 20 April, vehicles will be forbidden from travelling along Cranemore in Werrington.
This is to allow ducting works to be carried out between house numbers 17 to 52 and 37 to 47.
There is no alternative route in place for vehicles, as the roadworks are taking place on a residential street with cul-de-sacs.
The council estimates restrictions will continue until Friday 24 April, but will confirm the dates on site.
GoogleParliament Street, Millfield
From Tuesday 21 April, no traffic will be allowed to proceed along Parliament Street.
Motorists can use Searjeant Street, Harris Street, Lincoln Road and Windmill Street instead.
The closure, for pipe repair works, is expected to last for one day, until Wednesday 22 April.
Oxney Road, Parnwell
Vehicles will be prohibited from using the dead end section of Oxney Road from the junction with Eyebury Road.
The closure begins on Thursday 23 April and is likely to continue until the following day.
This is to allow water connection works to be carried out.
The council said there were no alternative routes for vehicles, but residents would be able to access their properties.
Thorney Road, Newborough
Overnight cabling works will see Thorney Road in Newborough closed off from Crowland Road on Monday 20 April.
The works are scheduled to start at 21:00 BST and finish at 06:00 the following morning.
A diversion will be in place along the A16, B1040 and B1443.
