Planned roadworks
Burlington Road Flyover and A3, including slip roads.
Transport for London are introducing temporary 40mph speed limits on the A3 (in both directions) at the junction with Bushey Road (A298) and on most of the slip roads in the vicinity, whilst repairs are undertaken to the Burlington Road Flyover. These restrictions will apply each weekday night from 09:00pm to 05:00am for Monday to Friday and all day/night on Saturdays and Sundays, from 13 November 2012 until 31 March 2013.
New Roadworks Website
A new service to give communities advance warning of 1.7 million local road works was launched on 16 February 2012. Roadworks Alerts is free to users and provides details of local road works direct to mobile phones or as automated feeds to websites.
It is a new service from the ELGIN roadworks.org website - the most comprehensive roadworks portal in the UK. It publishes up-to-the-minute information about local roadworks on a live map, with the aim of helping to cut traffic jams and co-ordinate works planning among telephone, water and energy Utilities - potentially saving the UK billions of pounds a year.
ELGIN Chairman Shane O'Neill commented: "This is an excellent example of local government making critical transport information available. Over 55% of England and Wales is already covered by this service. Better access to data will lead to better coordination of works and will drive efficiencies. And, by making the data available in intelligent format to innovative applications developers, sponsoring local authorities are also helping to drive the nation's growth strategy by encouraging enterprise."
