removal of existing gravel base layers. After the milling operations will follow the placing of new bituminous base
layers and surface layers.
The above work will be carried out in half-width road construction which can lead to traffic congestion and delays.
 
Reconstruction of block paving areas and reconstruction and repairs to kerbs will have no major traffic impact.
 
DRIVING COMFORT:
There will be height differences between the two lanes while milling and asphalt construction work are in progress.
Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians must exercise extreme caution, especially during wet conditions and when visibility is poor and at night. Vehicles with low-profile tyres and motorcyclists must take extra care.
