We are writing to tell you that we plan to carry out bridge joint repairs on the M11 at junction 10. This will ensure the M11 and the A505 continues to remain in a safe and serviceable condition.

We plan to complete this work over five nights between Monday 11 November and Saturday 16 November 2024.

We will work between 8pm and 6am on weeknights only, weather permitting.

Closures and diversions

To carry out the work safely, we will need to close the northern bridge at junction 10 of the M11 and divert traffic as follows:

 Non-Motorway traffic:

Traffic will need to take the A505 towards Royston, at the A10 roundabout take the third exit to join the A10 (Melbourn Road). Continue on the A10 northbound to the M11 roundabout at junction 11, then take the second exit onto A1309. Turn right on the A1301 (Shelford Road) and continue to the roundabout to rejoin the A505 Causeway to Hunts Farm Roundabout.

Motorway traffic:

Traffic travelling northbound on the M11 will need to continue on the M11 at junction 10 and follow to junction 11. Exit the M11 and take the fourth exit on the roundabout to rejoin the M11 southbound. Exit the M11 at junction 10 if wishing to join the A505.

 

Important roadworks information

M11 between junctions 6 and 14 – landscaping work

We are writing to inform you that we plan to carry out essential landscaping work at 19 locations on the M11 between junctions 6 and 14. This will involve cutting down and removing diseased trees along the M11, before replanting with native trees. We plan to carry out the work in two phases. The first phase to cut and clear, the second to plant.

We plan to complete both phases over approximately 3 months between Monday 4 November 2024 and February 2025. We will work between 9pm and 5am on weeknights only, weather permitting.

Why are we cutting down the trees?

The trees being removed are infected by the fungal disease known as Ash Dieback. This disease causes the deterioration and eventual death of ash trees. Management of the disease is a crucial part of our maintenance, to control and reduce the spread of the disease to other tree species along the M11. If the infected and dead trees are not removed, they may eventually pose a safety hazard.

What will the impact be?

There is likely to be noise from the upcoming work, particularly during the cutting phase. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. To minimise its impact, we aim to schedule the noisiest activities at the beginning of each shift. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience as we carry out this essential work.

The Care Together team are planning how to use grant funding for 2025-26.  Some residents in South Cambs have told us that transport is of concern to them and we want to see if interim measures to this concern can be included in our short-term grant funding plans.

One approach could be flexible transport, for example making available low-cost minibus / car hire or access to a minibus through a pre-booking scheme at reduced cost or no cost depending on its use.  This idea would need to be expanded upon with a group discussion if it is deemed a good initiative.

We know that work is underway to improve transportation across Cambridgeshire, so any intervention would only be short-term.

In regard to your responses we would like you to know that information is anonymously recorded.  This survey may take 5 -8 minutes to complete.

We will be closing the survey on 28 October. Please share this email widely with residents living in South Cambridgeshire.

Your view on the following questions will help us with our plans:

 

Poll: Can you tell us which village you live in?
