What we are doing
Update on Ground investigations in your area
We wrote to you previously in March 2022 about ground investigation works happening on West Gate Road. The surveys have been rescheduled and will now take place from 27 June to 15 July 2022 between 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm Saturdays, if required.
The ground investigations will consist of digging a temporary trench 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.
We will 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 West Gate
To ensure the safety of the public and our staff, temporary changes will be in place on West Gate during these works (shown on the following page). A single lane and footpath closures will be in place with two-way traffic lights and temporary pedestrian crossings and route to help traffic and pedestrian flow.
Parking on West Gate within our work area will be temporarily suspended during these works. The area will also be clearly signed.
