Closures and Diversions

Sometimes works on the highway, or some large deliveries, require a road to be closed temporarily to general traffic. Such closures require a Traffic Regulation Order issued by the highway authority.

For closures in connection with special events please see demonstrations and parades.

All costs involved for both the closure and diversion signing will have to be met by the person requesting the closure.

As there is a legal and consultative process to be undertaken, at least six weeks notice of closure is required.
