What we are doing
Ground investigation in your area
We wrote to you in early February 2022 regarding ground investigations in your local area. These works were due to be completed on the 18 February. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances that have affected the scheduled programme, these works will continue until 7 March 2022.
The ground investigations will consist of digging temporary trenches to confirm the location of utilities under the surface of the road and footpath. The investigations will help us to understand and aid the design of the new railway and the best ways to protect or divert any utilities during construction. Your utility services will not be affected during these works.
The ground investigations will take place between the hours of 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm Saturdays if required. We will also use noise reducing barriers where possible to help minimise any noise disruption to the local community, working as efficiently as possible whilst keeping our work areas safe and tidy.
Temporary changes on Park Royal Road
To ensure the safety of the public and our staff, temporary changes will be in place on Park Royal Road during the phase of work (shown on the following page). Single lane closures will be in place with two-way traffic lights and temporary pedestrian crossings to help traffic and pedestrian flow. We will also need to suspend a few of the parking bays near Lower Park. The works area will be clearly signed and we will have traffic operatives in the area in case of any issues with the traffic management.
