The closures were due to be in both directions on the A1081, between the Percival Way roundabout and the B653 traffic lights, and from the Kimpton Road roundabout to the B653 traffic lights.

The closures were to allow complete reinstatement works to take place following the installation of the DART (Direct Air-Rail Transit) Gateway Bridge last year, and enable condition surveys of the road to be undertaken.
