19-month speed limit to be imposed at busy Derbyshire road ahead of planned gas works
Derbyshire drivers are warned of disruption ahead of 19-month roadoworks.
A temporary 50mph speed limit is set to be introduced on the A38 in Egginton, National Highways have confirmed.
The speed limit will be in place to allow for planned gas works on the A5132 Carriers Road /The Castle Way bridge, which crosses over the A38.
The works, which are set to re-route and replace a gas line running through the bridge structure, are expected to start in September this year and continue for 19 months until April 2028.
Throughout the works lanes will be narrowed and temporary speed cameras will be installed.
The A38 is expected to remain open during daytime hours in both directions, with some overnight closures planned.
However, towards the end of works, one lane will be closed in each direction with exact times to be announced at a later date.
The Castle Way bridge will be closed in both directions from September this year to July next year.
