Diversion routes
For heavy goods vehicles
Should it be determined that a road closure at this location is unavoidable, the designated route would adopt classes of road that accommodate redirection of the current class of vehicles authorised to cross Bidford River Bridge, in respect to the existing 10-tonne maximum gross weight limit. Heavy goods vehicles looking to cross the River Avon should identify appropriate routes suitable to their vehicle class in the direction of Evesham or Stratford-upon-Avon. Vehicular crossings are to be monitored during the works programme and those found to be in breach of legal restrictions reported to Warwickshire Police.
Local commuters and residents using light cars and motorcycles will be aware of shorter alternative routes appropriate to their class and type of vehicle, such as cars and motorcycles.
