Sunderland Strategic Transport Corridor (Phase 3)

Northumbrian Water is planning to carry out water and waste-water diversions and modifications of our network in advance of the Sunderland Strategic Transport Corridor Phase 3. The new dual carriageway which is planned to start in the Summer of 2019, will link the new south side road infrastructure of the Northern Spire bridge to A183 St Mary's Boulevard - A1231 St Michael's Way roundabout. Our supply partners, Esh-MWH will be undertaking this works on our behalf.

Update by Dave Eden

Morning everyone,

Time for another update on SSTC Phase 3:

 

Hannover Place

All works complete with the exception of one connection in the footpath between Hannover Place Pub and Liebherr plus some final reinstatement of the road and footpath.

 

Deptford Place

All works complete bar one customer connection which can be seen fenced off outside the Liebherr access plus some final footpath reinstatements. Due to issues with some other services clashing with NWGs water main this area is on hold until we design a solution. No work major expected until the new year.

 

Farringdon Row

All Works complete bar some surface box removal - fire hydrant covers and the like - plus some final footpath reinstatements.

 

Beech Street

Works starting in the new year to improve the water main. This will be done using pipe lining rather than opening a long trench so disruption will be kept to a minimum though some excavation will be required

 

We aren't expecting to do any major works in any of the above areas until into the new year with the possible exception of reinstating footpaths. I'll take a pause from these 2 weekly updates for the time being as I don't expect there to be any changes until into the new year but rest assured I will let you know as soon as there is.

We do have continuing works on the water mains within the main road contract however updates on those area are the responsibility of the principle contractor - Just because you don't see updates here does not mean we aren't working.

 

Thanks

Dave Eden
