Activity: Traffic Management

Start date: 6th January 2025

End date: 14th February 2025

The following road closures are planned to facilitate collaborative working with some utility companies:  

  1. Abbey Road between Rowley Mews and Eastbridge Road
    Period 6 January – 14 February 2025
    Night time works only. Night time closures will run during the hours of 19:00 – 05:00. Residents living within the road closure will still have access to the highway. It will be necessary to operate two-way traffic management all other times. 
  2. Full closure of Eastbridge Road, between Abbey Road and Upper Abbey Farm Period of circa 2 to 4 weeks / 6 January – 14 February 2025. 

Diversionary routes will be in place for these periods. 

We continue to work with the local authorities to finalise the Abbey Road diversion and will share this once this is completed. 

 Sizewell C have worked with the following utility companies to reduce any disruption to the local area whilst they undertake upgrades and diversions to their networks to improve resilience in our area:

  • Essex and Suffolk Water 
  • UK Power Networks 
  • Openreach 

 Understandably there will be some disturbance with planned works as the utility companies will need to excavate, backfill and reinstate both the carriageway and footway. 

 Essex and Suffolk Water, UK Power Networks and Openreach will be contacting any customers directly if planned works would affect their services. 

 Sizewell C will also take this opportunity to carry out our vegetation clearance at various sites which we previously notified nearby residents of in a letter dated 20 September. 

 We apologise in advance for any disturbance and inconvenience caused by these works.
