The Twyford Parish Council is very concerned about the diversion works proposed during phase 2 of the works. This relates to the increased use of the Hockley Cross Interchange (Junction 11) and its interface with the B3335 / A3090. National Highways have already acknowledged deficiencies in the operation of the traffic lights at this junction and the impact it has on pedestrians, cyclists and other users of the B3335. Since a re-timing of the operation of traffic lights is required during the operation of the diversion route, along with a significant increase in volume of vehicles, the Parish Council is concerned that this will lead to a worsening of the impacts as a result of the deficiencies already identified. In order to mitigate the effects of the J9 works, improvements to the operation of the traffic lights and road layout at the Hockley Cross Interchange (Junction 11) and its interface with the B3335 / A3090 must be carried out prior to the works commencing on the J9 improvements.
