The work will be carried out over five consecutive Sundays in September, and will start on 1st September 2013. The scheme has been split into 5 main phases and temporary traffic signals will be in place.
Phase 1 Sunday 1st will include the Northbound Lane from the Town Hall to Bridge Street.
Phase 2 Sunday 8th will include the Southbound Lane from Bridge Street to The Town Hall.
Phase 3 Sunday 15th will include the Northbound Lane from Bentley Wynd to The Town Hall.
Phase 4 Sunday 22nd will include the Southbound Lane from The Town Hall to Bentley Wynd.
Phase 5 Sunday 29th will be to carry out additional essential carriageway patching on the Yarm Road and The Spital areas coming in and out of the High street.
Unfortunately it seems likely that a number of High Street parking bays will be 'out of action' whilst the work is ongoing but this is unavoidable and I have been assured they will be kept to a minimum.
Temporary traffic signals will be in place each Sunday and the council have engaged Hatton traffic management operatives to help with traffic control on site. The intention is to letter cars parked overnight in the High street at least 2 Saturday nights before asking motorists to refrain from doing so whilst the works are ongoing as this may lead to difficulty in getting out on a Sunday.
Signs will be placed on site shortly to inform all road users of the works and any residents/businesses directly affected will be informed by letter giving more details of the works and contact numbers if more information is required.
Additional signs will be placed on both the A19 and A66 informing of delays in passing through Yarm at this time (although there is an argument for keeping these up permanently!).
