Some overnight carriageway closures will be required, with clearly-signed diversions in place. Access for local residents will be maintained at all times.<\/p>\n<p>Highways England\u2019s project manager, John Lyssejko, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The new road surface we\u2019re laying on the A663 will make journeys smoother and quieter, benefiting both drivers and nearby residents.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re replacing the existing surface with a high-quality product and, although there is no such thing as a silent carriageway, we are confident it will be quieter for residents than the existing broken tarmac.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">We\u2019ll do everything we can to minimise any inconvenience, and are carrying out the work overnight when traffic levels are at their lowest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The resurfacing scheme is due to be completed by the end of April.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"general-enquiries\">General enquiries<\/h3>\n<p>Members of the public should contact the Highways England customer contact centre on 0300 123 5000.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"media-enquiries\">Media enquiries<\/h3>\n<p>Journalists should contact the Highways England press office on 0844 693 1448 and use the menu to speak to the most appropriate press officer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drivers to benefit from smoother and quieter journeys on the A663 Broadway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67748"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67748\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
