Councillor Chandra Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association understand the frustration of residents and motorists using the busy A50 when road repairs take place, but we trust in the longer period that having important road repairs actioned will benefit all concerned.
A yellow box junction is to be reinstated at the entrance to Shelford Road from High Street next to the One Stop Shop in Sandyford.
Approximately 10 years ago, when the High Street was resurfaced, the box junction was never put back, which was there to keep the entrance/exit to Shelford Road more free-flowing to traffic, especially at busy times of the day.
Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association contacted Council Highways with support from Councillor Chandra Kanneganti to reinstate the yellow box junction, whilst the contractor is replacing road markings as well as repairs to the High Street this week.
Our personal thanks go to Council Highways for agreeing to our request, especially with it being last-minute, as well as their understanding to try and improve the flow of traffic, even if it is in a small way.
Tonight Monday 17th November the High Street will be closed to traffic in sections from Sandyford’s KFC roundabout to Goldenhill’s Woodstock Street/Kidsgrove Road between 8.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m.
The contractor maintaining the road has advised that work will be taking place at the top of Goldenhill and a possibility of further work taking place around Sandyford McDonald’s.
The contractor has also said there will be staff managing the road network and can be approached to ask for further information in regards to part road closures, as well as access arrangements to properties and estates.
The roadwork maintenance is expected to last until Friday 21st November, although we have been advised that due to the weather expecting to turn much colder this could delay the tarmac laying, and further extend the work programme.

The contractor advised that access to properties and estates will continue whilst the work is being carried out, although delays are possible and alternative routes will be made available during the work period.
The contractor realises the closing of a major road network will inconvenience many drivers who use the A50, but said it will do its best to keep disruption to a minimum.
