Final Phase of the utility installation works on the A1301

We are writing to update you on the final phase of the utility installation works on the A1301.
Due to the location of the existing services within the carriageway and the nature of the
installation, we have agreed with Cambridgeshire County Council that the safest way to
carry out these works is by implementing a full road closure of the A1301 while the work is
undertaken. This is to ensure a safe working zone is maintained for the highways and utility
installation teams.
Full road closure with route diversion: 15 February to 23 February 2025 (24 hours), between
the Wellcome Genome Campus and Stump Cross roundabouts.
See Diversion Plan overleaf.
The utility works will begin at 8:00am on Saturday, 15 February, and continue until 4:00pm on
Sunday, 23 February with a continuous 24-hour closure in effect throughout this period.
In agreement with National Highways and the County Council, the road closure will be in place
between the Wellcome Genome Campus and Stump Cross roundabouts on the A1301. A
diversion route will be in place along the A505 and A11 to the Stump Cross roundabout, with
highway signs guiding traffic in both directions.
Access to Hinxton village and the Wellcome Genome Campus will be maintained from the A505
roundabout direction only.
We apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause and thank you for your ongoing
patience and understanding during this time.
If you have any queries about the A1301 works, please do not hesitate to contact the team by
emailing or call us on 01799 934766.
With best wishes,
Caroline Foster
Development Director
