The Linton Greenway works from Hildersham to Dale Head Foods has been substantially completed, and the pathway and road are fully open.
Our original intention was to complete the planned carriageway surfacing by closing the A1307 between Haverhill and Fourwentways roundabout weekdays overnight, and diverting traffic on National Highways roads.
However, we have now been advised that it is only possible to use this diversion at weekends.
Due to this, we now plan to complete the carriageway surfacing work over a 48 hour window. This will involve closing the A1307 between Haverhill and Fourwentways roundabout, from 6am on Saturday 15 July until 6am on Monday 17 July.
A map of the diversion route can be found here.
For acess to locations in Hildersham, see also here.
To avoid diverting large vehicles such as HGVs through small village roads, the diversion uses other available A roads, including the A143 and A11.
We will also book a contingency weekend for 22 – 24 July for further possible overnight closure, but hope to complete the works in full the previous weekend.
All efforts will be made to keep disruption to a minimum. We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience these works may cause.
Warning boards and digital signage will be installed on site from Tuesday 20 June to inform road users of the upcoming closures.
Please note that the A1307 road is only actually closed to traffic between the Hildersham High Street and just past Dale Head foods.
There are plenty of advance closure warning signs along the A1307 until reaching the closure point.
- Access to and from Hildersham High Street from the A 1307 will be always maintained. It won’t be possible to turn left towards Haverhill from the High Street but turning right to travel to Abington, Fourwentways will be possible at all times.
- The junction at the Acorn Garage will be unaffected with traffic turning left to travel on the A 1307 only able to go as far as the Hildersham High Street.
