What we are doing
Tunnel Boring Machine power supply works
In January of this year, we wrote to you outlining our phased programme of works for the tunnel boring machine power supply along Victoria Road. The power supply works which started at Atlas Road roundabout junction with Victoria Road and progressed southbound along Victoria Road will now resume its final phases ahead of its completion date of Spring 2022
Victoria Road End of February to the end March 2022
CSJV will continue with the power supply works along Victoria Road in the southbound carriageway. These works will be carried out from the 2 February for a period of twelve weeks. During this period, excavation, duct laying and reinstatement of the carriageway will be taking place. The works will be conducted in four phases, as shown below in the traffic management diagrams. Two-way traffic lights will be in place to maintain traffic flow along Victoria Road. The initial digging of the road will be the noisiest activity, although this will be intermittent and not continuous. We will put up screening clad with acoustic panels to reduce noise.
During these works, bus stops will be suspended northbound and southbound as shown above in the traffic management plans. Where possible we will relocate suspended bus stops to a new temporary location close by, however it is not always possible due to the distance between stops and other highway restrictions. Extended hours from 6pm until 10pm will be in place throughout these works, this is to significantly reduce the duration of traffic management on the road.
We might use a vacuum excavator, which is a safer and faster way of working within road space that is heavily congested as it sucks up material to expose buried utility services without risk of damaging the cables or pipework below. We apologise in advance for inconvenience this might cause. Utility supplies and other services will not be affected by these works.
