Highways England will be closing the A404 near Marlow to do white lining works overnight on Tuesday and Wednesday this week (18th/19th September). The closure will be between junction 9B and the Bisham Roundabout, northbound on Tuesday night and southbound on Wednesday night, from 10pm to 5am on both nights. There will be a signed diversion for HGVs, as well as increased warning signs of the 3T limit on the approach to Marlow Bridge, as well as a camera van on the bridge itself.
Transport for Buckinghamshire (TfB) will put gatemen on Marlow Bridge all night to deter overweight vehicles from using it as a diversion route. The gatemen will be wearing body cameras for their own safety.
Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member Mark Shaw commented: “While this is an overnight closure only, and we aren’t anticipating too many issues, we would rather be safe than sorry. There are a lot of works happening in and around Marlow at the moment, and there were well publicised problems with the bridge being misused a couple of weeks ago. We discussed the options with Highways England, and made the decision to take the protection of the bridge on ourselves.”
For further information, or to give feedback on the works and closures please contact Highways England.
