THE final phase of a package of highways improvements in Catterick Village begins on Monday, March 15.

The work involves the resurfacing of the High Street, and parts of adjoining roads, and is likely to last most of the week.

The old road surface will be removed on Monday under the control of temporary traffic signals.

On the following two days the new surface will be laid and because of the nature of the work the road will be fully closed. An alternative route for diverted traffic will be signed.

On subsequent days, short sections of Swale Lane, Low Green and High Green will also be resurfaced where they meet the High Street.

The work will again be undertaken under short term temporary closures of the side roads and local alternative routes will be signed for diverted traffic.

At all times during the works, school buses will continue to serve the bus stops in the centre of the village. Regular service buses will however be subject to amendment.
