Current Hinckley county councillor Ann Pendlebury said: “It’s good that the work on the Dodwells Roundabout is going to start. It’s much needed.<\/p>\n
“But the road lowering isn’t approved yet and there’s no guarantee it will be.<\/p>\n
“People are saying they will believe it when they see it.<\/p>\n
“The disruption caused by bridge strikes and the road works themselves could go on and on.”<\/p>\n
Contractors Winvic, who will carry out the work, said: “Further works will take place, including the lowering of the existing carriageway under the Watling Street Bridge and signage adjustments. <\/p>\n
“These works remain subject to final approval but will form part of the overall scope. <\/p>\n
“Further details will be provided once approvals have been confirmed.<\/p>\n
“Access for local residents and businesses will be maintained, with traffic management operatives available to escort vehicles safely to their required destinations.<\/p>\n
“Alternative travel routes via the M69, M6 and M42 are in place for main HGV diverted traffic<\/p>\n
“Local diversion traffic will be diverted through Hinckley and communicated via signage.”<\/p>\n
