Outwood lane Closure
We need to close Outwood Lane overnight for two nights week beginning Tuesday 27 May to complete changing the sails on the Welcome Arch and remove the Airport structure on the Hilton roundabout.
We've been granted an emergency closure order between 21.00 and 05.00 for a maximum of 5 nights beginning Tuesday 27 May. The work should be complete in 2 nights, but there is a risk that weather delays can occur. We know from past experience that this work will be difficult or impossible if there are moderately high winds. Indeed we have had to abort this work before for that reason. However, we will not close the road if there is no prospect of work that night, and will not continue with closures after the job is completed.
Traffic Management
We will divert traffic from the end of the M56 for T1 and T3 and Premier Park down Ringway Road West and into the Airport past the Airport Hotel via Ringway Road.
The mini roundabout is still in place at that junction and will stay until after this work. As the work is only planned for nighttime, airport traffic is much lighter and we will not sign T1 traffic off the M56 at the T2 exit slip.
Petrol station traffic will still be able to access the Station off Outwood Lane, but will have to exit via World Way onto the M56
