Road resurfacing starts in June

NOTE: It was reported in our printed edition that roads would remain closed during the day while night work took place. The Messenger has since been informed that this will not be the case and roads will remain open during the day.

Repairs to the main streets in Burngreave will begin in June.

The schedule of road resurfacing is listed below. During these times, the whole road may be closed and traffic will be diverted. Most of the work will take place at night, between 7pm and 6am, however roads will remain open during the day.

Letters to residents

For residents, there will be no on-street parking and limited access to properties during these hours. Residents will receive individual letters about two weeks before the closure and temporary road signs will go up about 5 days before the work starts.

The work will include installing new LED street lighting, drainage and new surfaces to pavements and roads.

Burngreave Road

Burngreave Road will be closed between 24th and 31st July, with traffic diverted around Scott Road and Ellesmere Road, which may cause significant delays.

The work schedule is heavily dependent on the weather and can be affected by unforeseen circumstances, so the schedule may change at short notice. Look out for temporary signs on the roads for updated information.

For a map of the works and further info can be found on the Council’s website: www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads or follow a link from the Messenger website. Contact Streets Ahead on 273 4567
