Medina Way barrier

Overnight work planned for Medina Way safety barriers

A section of safety barrier on Medina Way that was damaged by a car fire earlier this year is to be replaced next week.

The work on the southbound section will be undertaken at night as it will require the closure of the southbound lane.

Overnight closures
Island Roads structures team will also be using the closure – between 7pm and 11pm on Monday and Tuesday (6th and 7th November) – to undertake an inspection of the Medina Way bridge (flyover).

A diversion will be in place via Dodnor, Riverway, St James Street and the High Street during work.

Essential safety work
An Island Roads spokesperson said,

“The barrier replacement is essential safety work but we hope that by undertaking the replacement overnight we will reduce the impact on road users.

“By bringing in our structures team to do their inspections under the same traffic management arrangements we will also avoid the need for a subsequent road closure.

“As always, we would like to thank motorists in advance for their co-operation and understanding.”
