To do this contractors need to close this section of road for two-three weeks. While it's not ideal, but closing the road will mean the work can be finished three weeks earlier!
The road closure will begin this Wednesday 25 January.

Hi neighbours, we're revisiting this issue we posted a few months ago for a major story in the Cambridge Edition next week. What do you think Cambridge needs to focus on to prepare for the town's evolution?
