Work at White Hart junction progressing well
Since 22 June, White Hart junction has been reduced to a single lane on weekdays to allow Osborne, our contractor, to get on site and install ducting and drainage systems to facilitate the scheme.
This work has been progressing well and the team have been able to start the overnight work on the A419 southbound off-slip earlier than planned.
Night works on White Hart roundabout and the A419 southbound slip road started last Monday (13 July) for a period of two weeks. Some of the work that Osborne needs to complete during the night will be noisy, and we apologise for any inconvenience this work causes. Unfortunately there is no other way this work can be undertaken without considerable safety implications to our workforce and traffic using the junction, or without the need to close large proportions of the roundabout for long periods of time. Thank you for your patience while this work progresses. If you have any questions, you can send them through to whitehart.junction@osborne.co.uk or wwhj@swindon.gov.uk.
