What we are doing
Further trial holes on Chase Road
We have previously carried out ground investigations on Chase Road. We will be carrying out further trial holes on Chase Road between the junctions of Sunbeam Road and Gorst Road. These works will involve digging temporary trenches to confirm the location of utilities under the surface of the road and footway. There will be no disruption to utility services because of these works.
To reduce the impact of these works on the road network and local businesses, we will be carrying out the road investigation during overnight shifts when traffic and pedestrian flow is reduced, with the footpath investigations occurring during the day. Pedestrian and vehicle movements will not be impeded during the day.
The trial holes will take place from 15 November 2021 to 10 December 2021 overnight between the hours of 12:30am to 6:15am and during our core hours of 8am to 6pm.
We will also use noise reducing barriers where possible to help minimise any noise disruption to the local community, working as efficiently as possible whilst keeping our work areas tidy.
Temporary Road changes during the installation
During the overnight works a full Road closure will be in place on Chase Road between Sunbeam Road and Gorst Road.
A vehicle diversion route will be clearly signed throughout these works with the traffic management and road closure removed after every night shift. Access to buses will not be affected due to these works. A safety zone will be placed around our works on the footpath during the day shift.
