What we are doing
Water main works
We wrote to you in March 2023 to let you know that we would be carrying out the mains water lining works in Bridgwater Road and the need to extend our works until 31 May 2023. These works have been delayed again and will now continue until 18 June 2023.
From 15 May to 18 June 2023, we will be carrying out water main protection works on Bridgwater Road. These works will include replacement of the existing water main and associated water service/ valves, within the carriageway and connection points located on both ends of the footpath.
The works will be carried out in a programmed sequence, which involves:
• Installation of water pipe and valves
• Installation of new drinking water main and open cut trench
• Diversion of a water main pipeline
How these works might affect you
A road and footpath closure will be in place during these works.
To reduce the effects of the noisiest work:
• Acoustic Blankets will be used on Heras panels to reduce noise levels;
• Plant and equipment will be switched off when not in use;
• Operatives will be briefed on control measures; and
• Radios will be used for communication to keep voices low.
Closure of Bridgwater Road remains in place until 18 June 2023
The sections of the water main replacement on Bridgwater Road are from outside number 87, under the railway bridge, to the corner of Carmichael Close and across the playing field. Space constraints and the location of utilities here means a road closure is necessary to allow the work to be completed safely.
The northern footpath will remain open for pedestrians. The southern footpath will remain open to allow residents access to their properties.
There will be a clear diversion route during the road closure. The diversion will be fully signed and managed at both ends of the closed section. The diversion route will be through West End Road, south to Station Approach and via Victoria Road.
