A section of Newport’s busy Forest Road is due to be resurfaced by Island Roads next week.
Work on the stretch from Argyle Road to St Mary’s Roundabout will be undertaken overnight in order to reduce disruption to road users. To further reduce inconvenience, the work will be done in 2 distinct phases: Argyle Road to Hampshire Crescent and Hampshire Crescent to St Mary’s Roundabout.
The work is scheduled to last 7 nights starting from Monday 20th June. The hours of work will be between 19:30 and 06:00 and there will be no work at weekends.
Pedestrian access will be retained at all times and the road will be re-opened outside of work times. Residents and businesses within the work area have been written to explain more about the scheme and traffic arrangements.
Derek Benfield, project manager said:
“This is clearly a very busy stretch of road but we hope that by working overnight and by phasing the work we will keep disruption to a minimum.
“We would like to thank residents in advance for their patience while the road closure is in place.”
