Field Road reopens with ongoing construction; safety measures in place

Field Road is set to reopen today, November 28, 2024, at 1:00 PM. The reopening allows access for both vehicles and pedestrians.

While the road will be accessible, ongoing construction work will continue, specifically the installation of gabions. This work requires a 300-meter section of the road to operate as a single-lane carriageway. To ensure safety, the contractor will put in place traffic management measures including signage and traffic control. It is advised that road users follow these measures and exercise caution on this part of the road.

The speed limit on Field Road remains at 15 mph. Larger vehicles are advised to be cautious when passing each other, particularly in the single-lane area. Road users should familiarize themselves with the new layout and adhere to lane markings.

The Field Road project is part of a £30 million Economic Development Investment Programme (EDIP), funded by the UK Government.
