What we are doing
We will be carrying out Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys in locations along Curzon Street, Lawley Middleway, Dartmouth Circus and Vauxhall Road from Monday 6 September to Friday 17 September excluding weekends. Dates are subject to the progress of the surveys programme.
GPR surveys are non-intrusive, they are completed using a machine which transmits an electromagnetic pulse into the ground. These pulses reflect off features in the ground, allowing us to identify the location and depth of buried utility services.
Lane and road closures To be able to carry out these inspections safely and effectively, we will need to put in place the following traffic management:
- 06 September and 07 September – lane closure along sections of Lawley Middleway along with a road closure and a diversion route on a section of Curzon Street.
- 08 September to 10 September – lane closure along sections of Curzon Street with temporary traffic lights.
- 13 September to 14 September – lane closure along sections of Lawley Middleway and Dartmouth Middleway, along with a road closure with a diversion route on Vauxhall Road and Lawford Close.
- 15 September to 17 September – lane closure along sections of Lawley Middleway, Curzon Street and Vauxhall Road. These will be in place from 9.00pm to 5.00pm.
Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
