Temporary Closure
Sometimes works on the highway (including building construction work), large deliveries or even certain sporting events such as the Salford Triathlon require a road to be closed temporarily to general traffic.
Such closures will require a traffic regulation order to be published. All costs involved for both the closure and diversion signing have to be met by the person requesting the closure.
As there is a legal and consultative process that needs to be undertaken, at least six weeks' notice is required - for some closures this period may be up to three months in order to publicise a diversion route properly.
In addition, for sporting events or parades, the written consent of the police will also be required.
In all cases, proposed closures are subject to consultation with the Police, Highway Authority and other interested parties.
