This email provides information on our upcoming work and associated traffic management, including access 9 and 10 duct bank work on Snape Road, offsite highway improvement works in Theberton and permanent Public Right of Way (PRoW) diversion works.
Access 9/10 duct bank work
We recently notified you of the below works. Please be aware that the weekend road closures have been updated, and are now as below.
We would like to inform you that ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) will be undertaking essential construction works on Snape Road. These works form part of the East Anglia TWO offshore wind farm project and will involve the installation of ducts at accesses 9 and 10. This work will take place over three consecutive weekends and will involve traffic management.
The schedule of work is as follows:
- Weekend 1: 20.09.25 (06:00) – 22.09.25 (06:00)
- Weekend 2: 27.09.25 (06:00) – 29.09.25 (06:00)
- Weekend 3: 10.10.25 (22:00) – 13.10.25 (06:00)
Scope of works:
- Excavation of the road to install ducts for substation cables.
- Reinstatement of the road including new surfacing.
The works are being undertaken overnight at the weekend to minimise disruption as far as possible. Access will be maintained at all times for cyclists, pedestrians (including pedestrians with buggies/prams) and wheelchair users and our teams are committed to conducting these works in a safe and efficient manner.
The approved diversion route is included below.
Please note: we are aware that our diversion route for our access works uses Grove Road, therefore we will be removing the Grove Road closure on the above weekends to ensure traffic can be diverted accordingly. All open excavations will be covered and suitably fenced to ensure the safety of the public.
