Why is some construction undertaken at night, creating noise when people are asleep?
On very busy stretches of road, work is often programmed to be carried out overnight. A balance has to be struck between the noise nuisance caused to local residents and the congestion caused by disrupting traffic during peak hours during the day. Where overnight works are planned, particularly noisy operations are kept to a minimum and local residents are informed of progress. In extreme cases, particularly large construction schemes, the Agency may arrange for residents to move temporarily to alternative accommodation.
