Despite informing us that the road closure and resurfacing would take place yesterday (Thursday), the County Council have this morning said that the work will now take place on Sunday 7th July. This is due to administrative errors and failure to take into account other works taking place in the area.

To recap, the County will be carrying out surface dressing of Mowbray Road. Their contractors did some preparatory work in June, and they now need to carry out the second stage, overlaying the road surface with a plymer-modified bitumen and covering it with aggregate or chippings. This is to seal the surface to keep water out and improve the road’s ability to stand up to its heavy usage.

There will be people at the end of the road to give access to properties for residents and businesses, though it won’t be immediate and you may have to wait a bit.  Other traffic will have a signed diversion: Cherry Hinton Road, A1307 Hills Road and A1134 Queen Edith’s Way and vice versa. Cyclists will be able to wheel their bikes along the pavement.

Also scheduled for repairs are Babraham Road and Cherry Hinton Road. Hills Road will be resurfaced in August.
