Durham County Council has announced details of arrangements for a shuttle service during next weekend’s road closures
The next phase in the resurfacing of the main road though Coxhoe, the B6291, will be subject to roadworks for seven days commencing on 21st August. The stretch of road affected is between the Italian Farmhouse and Clarence Pub and the Crossing at the junction with the tip haul road. There will be two days where the road will be entirely closed on 25th and 26th August, which happens to be the start of the Bank Holiday weekend. Diversions will be in operation via A688 and A177. Access to Bower Court will be maintained throughout the works. The works represent further investment in the highway infrastructure but disruption is inevitable. The programme of work is as follows:
Monday 21st August – 2 way traffic signals for planing, 0700-1900 hours
Tuesday 22nd August – 2 way traffic signals for planing, 0700-1900 hours
Wednesday 23rd August – 2 way traffic signals for planing and binder course, 0700-1900 hours
Thursday 24th August – 2 way traffic signals for planing and binder course, 0700-1900 hours
Friday 25th August – Full Road Closure HRA Surfacing and Road marking, 0930-1530 hours – reopen carriageway in the evening
Saturday 26th August – Full Road Closure HRA Surfacing and Road marking, 0700-1900 hours – reopen carriageway in the evening
Tuesday 29th August – Speed cushions and road markings, 0700-1900 hours
Details of the works and diversions are available on the following plan:
The 2 days of bus service disruption are Fri/Sat (25th/26th August):
Friday 09:30 – 15:30
Saturday 07:00 – 19:00
During this time regular bus services will operate Bowburn – Tursdale – Cornforth Lane – Onward Routes (same in reverse). As a consequence Parkhill and central Coxhoe will be without services during this time. In order to enable local travel and maintain links to mainstream services, the following arrangements will be in place:
Scarlet Band will be operating a free shuttle on the County Council’s behalf. One bus will operate – 2 per hour service linking Parkhill area to regular onward bus services in Bowburn with a 1 per hour service to south east Coxhoe maintaining local links and connecting with onward services at The Red Lion.
Note: This will all be covered by one vehicle as shown in the attached time table
For anyone with mobility problems and therefore unable to use our shuttle service, the County Council will provide an enhanced link2 service. Basically the County Council will book taxis to provide the link to mainstream services at the appropriate locations. This option will also be available for anyone wishing to travel before 09:00 on Saturday (shuttle not starting until 09:00). If you have any queries please contact Durham County Council.
You can check out the bus timetable and the shuttle routes from the links below.
Please note that the Shuttle Bus will be making reverse turns at Beechfield Rise during the operation of the service.
A progamme of events for young people is now available. You can download a copy of the programme and a consent form direct from this website. For more information visit our Young People pages.
