Road and footpath closures for work on the highway

We will only agree to a highway closure if no other feasible solution can be found. You will not be granted a temporary highway closure to locate site accommodation or store materials on the highway.

You must ensure that delays are minimised and whenever practical you must:

• maximise the working day e.g. working 24 hours/7 days a week
• avoid closing the road at peak times
• use traffic control to create lane closures rather than full road closures
• use a suitable diversion route.

Please ensure that you have downloaded and read the guidance notes fully before you begin the application forms.

• download the pre application checklist
• download the road closure guidance notes

We will aim to respond to your application within 10 working days. If you have not had a response within this time, please contact us.
