The small notice on the lamp-post outside my house says the road will be closed for three months! Is that really right?

Temporary road closures are legally enforceable and therefore we need to obtain legal orders to be able to implement them. This is why small notices advertising them are in evidence on site before the closure is actually implemented. They usually indicate a period of closure longer than the actual time we estimate will be necessary, to allow us a window of opportunity within which we can legally close the road to carry-out the work. The window of opportunity is qualified by an estimate of the actual duration of the closure. Where we anticipate our road closure may cause significant disruption, in addition to these notices we usually erect larger signs that can be read by passing drivers, warning of the closure – with our estimate of the actual start date and duration – and distribute letters to affected premises.
