NOTIFICATION OF WATERPROOFING WORKS M1 Junction 20 Lutterworth Interchange North & South Bridges

Dear Sir or Madam NOTIFICATION OF WATERPROOFING WORKS M1 Junction 20 Lutterworth Interchange North & South Bridges I am writing to let you know that we will be carrying out essential renewal works to the waterproofing system of the two bridges located at junction 20 on the M1. During our scheme of work, we will: • plane off the existing carriageway surface • remove and replace the existing waterproofing system • resurface the carriageway Once completed, our works will prevent water leaking onto the bridge decks, which in turn will protect the structures. When will the work take place? The scheme is due to start on Monday 3 August 2020 and is scheduled for completion by early September 2020. To minimise disruption to the local community, residents, businesses and road users, we will work: • between 8pm and 6am under lane closures, Monday to Friday for one week • from 8pm on Friday until 6am on Monday during selected full weekend closures Please note that all our planned roadworks may be subject to change due to adverse weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances How will the work affect traffic? To maintain a safe environment for our workforce and customers, we will use a mixture of lane closures and full carriageway closures on the: • north bridge at junction 20 on the M1and the • south bridge at junction 20 on the M1 To minimise inconvenience to road users, we will work on one bridge at a time. During these closures we will put in place signed diversion routes. All carriageways and bridges will remain open outside of our working hours. Maintaining safety during Covid-19 We are working hard to maintain the road network and are prioritising critical operational activities. This will help ensure that life-saving medicine, equipment, supplies and healthcare staff can travel to where they're needed most. All our sites have strict safeguarding measures, in line with Public Health England guidance, to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and none of our sites are open to the public.
