Is it suitable for the volume of traffic? Is it suitable for all types of traffic going to be using it? We apply for a road closure order six weeks in advance.
Then on a weekly basis we apply for road space booking, which allows the central control to notify them of all gantries that can be signalled, notifying the public that the road works ahead, diversion is in place.
and then on an unlikely basis our traffic management is set up at 10 o'clock.

So the advantage we have here is that the road is fully closed, each of the access points is manned so we control who enters the closure.
