What we are doing
New cable route to be installed from Lidlington Place to Varndell Street – starting 6 June
We have been diverting utility services on and next to Hampstead Road, to clear our working area before we begin works to extend Hampstead Road bridge.
Starting in June, we will install a new cable route from Lidlington Place to Varndell Street via Granby Terrace, to replace the existing route next to Hampstead Road. We expect this work to take about 2 years to complete.
We will carry out this work in stages
- Stage 1: install the new cable pipes (ducts) within the footway and carriageway on Lidlington Place, Harrington Square, Hampstead Road, Stanhope Street and Varndell Street
- Stage 2: pull the cable through the pipes
- Stage 3: connect the cables
Varndell Street works.
Works now carried out between Harrington Street and Stanhope Street. This section of the road is closed until December. The footways remain open.
