Roadworks in Eddington this summer
There are a series of road closures planned to enable road safety improvement works. These works will deliver new pedestrian crossings and improvements to the local transport infrastructure, helping to enhance safety and accessibility for the residential community and for those travelling through the area.
27/07/2026 – 31/07/2026 – Milne Avenue Crossing – zebra crossing installation
03/08/2026 – 07/08/2026 – Ridgeway Crossing – parallel crossing installation
10/08/2026 – 28/08/2026 – Eddington Avenue Bus Gate – infrastructure improvement works
We have scheduled these into phased works to ensure minimal disruption to those using the site and to those traversing the site to alternative destinations, which will mean some changes to the normal traffic flows through the development. Please look out for and follow the signage for everyone’s health and safety.
During this time,
- Businesses remain open during this time.
- Access is maintained for pedestrians/cyclist wherever it is safe to do so.
- Some temporary traffic delays are likely during the construction period.
Retail deliveries:
During the bus gate closure (10/08/2026 – 28/08/2026), we advise that deliveries be made via the Wileman Way retail parking bay. Access to Sainsbury’s deliveries will be possible subject to the above road closures. Please advise your delivery companies of these changes.
