NF1147 - Rookes Lane, Lymington - Retaining Wall Replacement
/As part of Hampshire County Council’s annual Planned Maintenance programme, this letter is to inform you that we will be undertaking the replacement of the retaining wall in Rookes Lane, Lymington, from outside No.35 to the junction with Newenham Road.
The works are programmed to start on 2nd February 2026 and are expected to take up to 2 weeks to complete. Due to the nature of the work and for safety reasons, the road will be closed 24/7 to through traffic, with works being undertaken between 07:30 – 18:00hrs.
Whilst there is an allowance within the time periods shown above for delays, there may be times when we have to postpone works at very short notice; based on the latest weather forecasts, this can occur just prior to works commencing. We will always look to provide up to date information wherever we can, but sometimes these last-minute decisions can be difficult to relay to the travelling public in a timely manner. When we can, any significant changes to the scheduled dates will be made clear on the yellow sign boards located at the works limits.
In order to help us to complete the work as quickly as possible, please ensure that no vehicles are parked near the area of works during working hours.
Please be aware any vehicles left parked on the road that prevent the works taking place, face the risk of being removed.
For your safety and that of our workforce, we are unable to guarantee vehicular
access to and from your property during the closure. Should you need to make an essential journey, please contact a member of the workforce in advance and they will be able to advise if they can accommodate your request. Pedestrian access will be available at all times. For further details of how these works may affect your access please visit our website – www.hants.gov.uk/roadworks.
