What we are doing
In advance of the completion and tie-in of the temporary diversion of Ellesborough Road into the existing road, our team need to close the road to complete further utility diversion works at the western tie-in area and to install a sheet pile wall at the eastern end of the road to protect the Memorial Gardens.
Due to the nature of this work and the narrow width of the carriageway, we needed to close the road to ensure the safety of both our workforce and road users.
Pedestrian and resident access is being maintained throughout the closures although the footpath maybe diverted onto the carriageway in some areas.
Ellesborough Road must be diverted to continue with the construction of Wendover Green Tunnel. The diversion includes a temporary new bridge which will enable site traffic to pass underneath and for the tunnel to be constructed without any disruption to the road. We are working to have the temporary realignment in operation before the end of the year.
When will these works take place?
- Monday 30 October – Tuesday 14 November
Please note, these dates may be subject to change due to circumstances outside of our control but will be completed on or around the timings specified.
Should these works finish earlier than planned, we will open the road when practicable.
