It needs 'informed contact' between the contractor and the operator (or the local authority).
Of course it is sensible to make contingency plans to cover both the planned closure as well as the actual closure and then implement the appropriate 'diversions' or alternative (shuttle) buses.
Exactly that.
Those works at Edmondsley, will have been planned and budgeted well in advance of any road signs. No doubt it will have appeared on the website more than a few weeks before the works too.
An informed contact, will know exactly when the works are planned for and can advise of any delays, revisions or changes to plans.
Unless the relationship between organisations has broken down in the past
