Tinsley Viaduct to be closed for roadworks

Recommended Posts

It only went to two lanes to force the third lane off at Meadowhall - just my opinion not a genuine proveable or possibly even sensible reason.

It's not long since fully re-opened after the last lot of roadworks...

 

I don't think that "urgent" goes well with the need of "£5.4 million of works"...

It was 3 lanes originally and then it was reduced to 2 lanes when maximum HGV weights went from 38 tons to 44 tons. You could see the whole thing sloping towards the edges.

 

They then spent 2 years repairing and strengthening the whole thing but left it at 2 lanes after the works were finished, which always baffled me.

 

It only went back up to 3 lanes when they finished the managed motorway works last year.
