“With various schemes taking place over the coming weeks and months, it is inevitable there will be some disruption and we apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

“Please rest assured, every effort is made to minimise disruption with major roadworks being undertaken outside of rush hour but we do ask drivers for their understanding and patience while work is ongoing.”
