A road will be closed for a week so that it can be resurfaced.

Barrowland Lane near Toller Porcorum will be closed from its junction with High Street and its junction with Shatcombe Lane, a distance of approximately 2,100 metres starting on Saturday, June 8.

The work is expected to be completed by Friday, June 14. Work will be conducted between 7am and 7pm each day.

This closure is so that Amberon Ltd and SPL can carry out in-situ recycling carriageway treatment.

Deep in-situ recycling is a near-end-of-life treatment used on roads that have extensive visible defects, with uneven surfaces, sunken areas, potholes and cracking, and are at risk of structural failure.

In-situ recycling is the process of simultaneously pulverising the existing carriageway and mixing it with new cement and bitumen emulsion to create a new, strong subbase, which then has a new surface course laid.
