The County Council web site has some details about the road works on the B582 Gartree Road at the junctions with Shady Lane, Stoughton Road and Gaulby Road over the next 7 weeks or so.

The description is "Traffic Calming/Carriageway Resurfacing"

There will temporary off-peak signals. Also be aware that the road will be completely closed at some point for resurfacing. I will post any further information here when it appears on the County Council web site.

The County Council provide an estimated start date of 06/03/06 and estimated end date of 23/04/06

Added 19/3/06:
The County Council web site explains that there have been several accidents at the junctions of Shady Lane, Stoughton Road and Gaulby Lane in recent years. This stretch of Gartree Road is currently subject to the national speed limit of 60 mph.

The road alterations include:

• A mini-roundabout at the junction of Gartree Road and Stoughton Road, with high friction surfacing and improved street lighting.
• High friction surfacing on the approaches to the Shady Lane Junction.
• Improved road signs and markings throughout.
• A reduction of the speed limit along Gartree Road from 60 mph to 40 mph from the BUPA hospital to past the junction with Stoughton Road. Also a 50 mph limit covering the junction of Gartree Road and Gaulby Lane.
• A reduction of the speed limit along Stoughton Road from 60 mph to 40mph from the end of the existing 30 mph limit, past the University Sports Grounds and up to the Gartree Road junction.
