What we are doing
Surveys planned on Bideford Avenue in January 2023
We wrote to you last month about ground investigation works taking place on Bideford Avenue. The surveys were planned to take place from 12 to 22 December 2022.
The surveys will now take place during the day from 9 to 27 January 2023 between 8am and 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.
How this might affect you
Phase one – between 9 and 20 January, we will have a temporary road closure in place on the south side under the TfL bridge. Phase two – between 23 and 27 January, we will have a temporary road closure in place on the north side under the TfL bridge. Traffic diversion routes will be clearly signposted along Bideford Avenue, Aintree Road, and the surrounding roads during these phases.
The TfL bus route, number E5 which stops at the Tesco Superstore may be affected. You can check live TfL updates at TfL.gov.uk

Vehicles travelling north on Bideford Avenue will be diverted west onto Teignmouth Gardens, north on Horsenden Lane South and then east on Bilton Road.
Access to businesses and homes within the road closure will be available at all times. Pedestrians will be able to use the footpath under the bridge during these works.
