Advice regarding proposed works in Newark Lane

Pam has forwarded this message from the Veteran-CC:

Hi all,

Most of you will have seen the large notices which have gone up in Newark Lane, Ripley, drawing attention to the fact that there will be a 6 months road closure with effect from 6th January. This is for 'Bridge Improvement Works' to Newark Mill-stream Bridge (by the traffic lights), Newark Mill Bridge and the nearby Newark (relatively)New Bridge.

The closure isn't quite as disastrous to cyclists as it sounds as the road will only be closed for 'vehicular' traffic. For pedestrians, equestrians and cyclists, access will be provided at all times via temporary footbridges, but cyclists and equestrians will have to dismount to use the access routes. If you ask whether tricycles will be able to get through, all I can say is that is a very good question, but if you have any questions you are invited to call 0300 200 1003 (8am to 6pm weekdays) or consult www.surreycc.gov.uk
