A65 Closure between Crooklands Roundabout and Nook

The A65 between Crooklands roundabout and Nook will be fully closed to traffic overnight from Monday, 23rd September 2024 (Monday – Friday 8:00pm to 5:00am), for approximately 4 weeks.

There have been temporary traffic lights at the site for several months. The lights were installed in response to an incident involving a HGV leaving the carriageway, and overturning into the adjacent land. The accident caused significant damage to the verge, leaving the carriageway edge unsupported with a steep drop off into the adjacent land.

A contractor has now been appointed to undertake the works on behalf of the council. The scheme involves the construction of a new pre-cast concrete retaining wall, approximately 35 metres in length.

Regrettably, the closure of the A65 will cause unavoidable disruption. The construction of the wall will require heavy plant and machinery, which will take up both lanes of the usable carriageway. It is hoped that disruption will be minimised as much as possible by undertaking the works at night and reinstating the traffic lights at the end of each shift, allowing the road to reopen to traffic the following day.

The contractor has been instructed to place advance warning signs on site, advising road users of the upcoming night closures from 23rd September. Stagecoach and KT Coaches have confirmed the closure from 8pm will not impact upon their services.
