What we are doing
As we prepare to realign Ellesborough Road, we need to ensure we are aware of all existing utility cables and pipes in the ground so they can be diverted along with the road as appropriate.
We will be carrying out trial holes on Ellesborough Road in preparation for the temporary road diversion, which is due to be operational in July 2023.
A trial hole is an excavation of the ground to determine the presence, location and condition of any existing utilities in the area.
This will require us to close the road on 14 February and again between Monday 20 February and Friday 12 March.
As these works require open excavations to be left for longer than 24 hours due to the necessary investigations, we will need to close the road to ensure the safety of road users and our workforce.
The closures will take place in three phases:
• Survey work – 14 February (8am – 3pm)
• Eastern trial holes – 20 February to 28 February (24 hour)
• Western tie trial holes – 1 March to 12 March (24 hour)
Pedestrian and resident access will be maintained throughout the closures.
