Updated notice of night-time working on Aston Church Road – utility works

What we are doing

Ongoing utility diversion works at Aston Church Road
We previously told you that we need to carry out a utility diversion to Western Power Distribution’s (WPD) high voltage (HV) cables on Aston Church Road to facilitate the construction of the Aston Church Road Overbridge foundations. We now expect this work to be completed by 14 November 2022.

We are extending this work to combine it with our utility trial hole survey programme. This will help us cause less disruption to communities by combining our road closures. The survey programme will start on Monday 24 October.

To allow us to work safely there will be traffic management in place to close the south footway along with a lane narrowing on Aston Church Road. We will also need to put in place a road closures along a section of Aston Church Road as well as a two-night closure at the junction of Chartist Road and Aston Church Road.
The closures will be in place between the following dates and times.
• Monday 24 October – Friday 28 October – 24 hours a day
• Monday 31 October – Monday 14 November, 9pm – 6am
• Wednesday 2 November – Thursday 3 November, 9pm -6am (Chartist Road)
During this work you may hear low levels of construction noise and feel low levels of vibration as we break the concrete to access the cables. You may also see deliveries of materials and equipment.
We will monitor and control the levels of disruption during our construction and keep this to a minimum.
