Work in progress from 10 May 2021 to 13 May 2021
Contractors will be carrying out surfacing night works between 10 May and 13 May, on Chester Road, Wilson Patten Street, and Slutcher's Lane. As a result, these roads will be closed between 7.00 pm, and 5.00 am (1.00 am for Chester Road/ Gainsborough Road) as outlined below. We'll ensure residents, businesses and station using the car park on Slutcher's Lane have access. Otherwise, diversions will be in place. Each road will reopen to traffic outside these working times.
Please note that road closures will be coordinated between each road and will not be closed simultaneously.
Here's the plan of the works:

At present, Balfour Beatty (principal contractor) has determined that they can remain operational, in line with current guidance on COVID-19 from the UK Government, at Centre Park Link. Still, they will only be undertaking activities where they can appropriately implement the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued on 7 January 2021 by the Construction Leadership Council.
