The last update until 10 September due to holidays.
Village Way Junction
This section is now complete. Over the next few days the site will be cleared. The compounds between Kelsey Square and Village Way will be removed and parking will be reinstated.
The Drive to Wimpy
Work is in progress along this section. Most of the kerbs have been installed and much of the drainage.
• TFL will be re commissioning the crossing during the early part of next week.
• The footpath works along this section will commence on Monday 20th August.
• The bus stop o/s Wimpy will be closed next week and a temporary stop will be installed closer to the Nationwide.
Regal Alley to Roundabout
• Excavating work is in progress to install the new buildout of the kerb line at this point.
• The laying of new drainage pipes will be underway shortly
• The construction of the parking bays to follow.
• Please note that pedestrians will be required to walk on the parking bays to enable the construction of the footpath to take place. This can be uncomfortable due to the raised surface of the paving, but to facilitate a safe walkway for pedestrians, away from the highway, this is considered the only option. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Odeon
• Work immediately outside of The Odeon is still ongoing.
• Due to design changes on this section, it may mean that a small section in line with The Odeon steps will be completed later, but certainly before the end of September.
