What we are doing

Overnight drainage surveys on A40 Western Avenue
We wrote to in you November 2021 regarding overnight drainage surveys on the A40 Western Avenue, between the junctions with Concord Road and Allen Way. Unfortunately, we were not able to complete the surveys as planned. We will be revisiting this area overnight on 7 to 10 February 2022 between 9pm to 6am the following morning.

These surveys will help us understand the condition of the drainage system in the area and how to best protect them during the construction of the railway.
We will investigate the condition of the sewer system using a camera and may need to flush the drainage using a high-pressure water jet if any blockages are found. You may notice additional noise during this activity. We will continuously monitor our working methods to ensure any noise is kept to a minimum.
Your utility services will not be affected during these works

Temporary changes will be in place overnight on the A40 Western Avenue during the surveys. More information is included on the next page.

Temporary road changes on A40 Western Avenue
In order to carry out these works safely, temporary lane closures and safety zones will be in place on the A40 Western Avenue between the junctions with Concord Road and Allen Way. We will also need to suspend Wendover Court bus stop (ID 76776) overnight. The next available bus stop will be bus stop Q (Alliance Road). This stop is approximately a 5-minute walk from Wendover Court bus stop. All temporary changes will only be in place during our working hours. The location of these surveys and temporary changes are shown on the map below.
Access will be maintained to all properties at all times.
