What we are doing
This summer we are constructing the Nash Lee overbridge. As part of the works, we are constructing the foundations for the bridge. The foundation works involve the construction of eight large concrete piles. This activity will require extended working hours over 12 days in July.
We will begin by boring holes in the earth, and then pour concrete into the cavity. These works are unable to be halted once they have begun, so we will extend our usual working hours until 03.00am. We do not anticipate that we will need to work until 03.00am each night, but may need to on some nights, depending on the progression of the works.
During our works for this phase of the bridge construction, we will also be doing some pile cropping which may result in an increase in the level of noise on site. We will only be doing pile cropping during our core work hours, 08.00am until 6.00pm.
When will these works take place?
• Thursday 18 July and Friday 19 July: 08.00am – 03.00am
• Monday 22 July –Friday 26 July: 08.00am – 03.00am
