Roughmute Recycling Centre

Disruption to traffic on A883 junction at Roughmute from Monday 17 January 2022

Upgrades to the junction at Roughmute Household Waste Recycling Centre will take place from 17 January 2022. Traffic lights will be in place for a period of approximately 10 weeks to manage traffic during the works and to safeguard the workforce throughout the duration of the project. To help minimise potential congestion the traffic lights will only operate whilst the works take place i.e 9am – 4pm, Monday – Friday.

The improvement to the junction will be the widening of the site entrance/exit and a right turn lane into the Centre, travelling from the Checkbar roundabout.

Traffic leaving the site will be directed left as is now.

This development is designed to improve traffic management and enhance the safety of road users, site users and staff.

Current opening times of the Recycling Centre will remain throughout the duration of the works.
