Works to close roads around Ralph Butcher Causeway between Peterborough and Whittlesey for 4 days
The Ralph Butcher Causeway, between Peterborough and Whittlesey, is set to undergo two further full closures this month.
The bridge on the A605 is set to close from 6pm on Friday (August 14) until the evening of Sunday (August 16).
There will then be a second closure between at Whittlesey Gate, close to the BP Garage, on Sunday (August 15). Anglian Water will be carrying out works deep into the middle of the road to connect the new Whittlesey Gate development to the mains water system and for sewerage.
Works on the second closure are hoped to be completed by Tuesday (August 18).
Further works will then be needed at Whittlesey Gate once the A605 works are finished but there will be carried out under a single lane road closure.
Fenland District Council leader Chris Boden said: “I’m not going to pretend that this won’t all be massively disruptive. It will be a nightmare on the roads for all of us but as local councillors we’ve argued hard, and I believe successfully, to minimise the disruption that we’ll be facing.”
