George Street closure
The construction of the new Copenhagen-style crossing, at the junction of George Street and Milton Road, will take place from week commencing 1 July for approximately 6 weeks, under a full nighttime road closure.
We will be undertaking this work during the hours of 8pm – 6am due to the limited working space available. As there are fewer vehicle movements at night, we will be able to work more quickly and efficiently, whilst minimising disruption around access to residents. The road will be reopened every morning, so should you need to go out between 6am and 8pm, you will be able to exit as you do now.
While the road is closed, you will not be able to exit via the junction with Milton Road. We would appreciate it if you could make alternative parking arrangements, should you need to leave during the hours the road is closed.
We will have our traffic management team on site to assist getting into George Street, and the exit onto Chesterton Road will remain open to exit George Street.
We will require access to our compound at Woodhead Drive but will keep vehicles movements and noise to a minimum.
You may experience some noisy works during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.
