In phase 2 we'll be carrying out works on nights between from 8.00pm on Monday 8 June 2026 until the morning of Friday 12 June 2026, with works finishing by 6.00am. This is to allow for the full resurfacing of this section of the carriageway.

We know Station Road is a significant and well used road in the city so want to share information to help people plan ahead and get around the city, whatever mode of transport they use.
While there has been lots of work to minimise disruption during these closures, we're expecting the inner ring road to be very busy so we're asking people to plan ahead and consider other ways to travel to the city centre.
