What we are doing
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. We previously installed a new cable route from Lidlington Place to Varndell Street via Granby Terrace, to replace the existing route next to Hampstead Road.
Now that we have installed the ducting which will form the cable route, the next stage is to pull the cables through the pipes. We do this by pulling cables between underground cable joint bays located on the route. We completed some of these works earlier this year.
From 20 October to 23 December 2025 works will take place on Stanhope Street between Park Village East and Varndell Street.
We will work Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, Saturdays from 8am to 5pm and Sundays from 10am to 5pm.
During this period there will be road and lane closures on Stanhope Street with traffic diversion signs in place.
To reduce noise impact to residents, there will be no concrete breaking after 1pm on Saturdays and no noisy works on Sundays.
We apologise for any disruption these works may cause.
Further phases of cable pulling will continue in early 2026, we will update on details in due course.
