Update by Anthony Birkett
Hi Everyone
I hope you are well and not still suffering with sunburn from the weekend!
I've been in touch with the site team today and Darren has provided an update on progress so far.
Shotton Road/Doxford Drive - Northern end
As you may have seen, we hhave now closed the junction of Doxford Drive and Whitehouse Way and this will remain in place for the next 7 weeks - we apologise for any inconvenience caused by this and will try to get our work done as quickly as we can. we has progressed this week, but not at a rate we would have hoped, largely due to the fact that we have uncovered numerous services that we weren't expecting which has slowed things down a little. Hopefully, we will soon be in a position to start work on driving the pipe under the carriageway on Whitehouse Way - this is quite a complex and challengin stage of work so we need to make sure we get it right!
Hunter Road/Swan Road – Southern end
Our team on the Southern side have also struggled with unchartered services so have not progressed as quickly as hoped. We have also been constructing an air valve chamber this week. Next week we hope to start working down Swan Road.
Additional Team
We also have a third team working in the area and they have been carrying out exploratory work to locate services in areas where we will be working soon. This will hopefully ensure that we don't get slowed down like we have been this week.
I was on the estate last week, talking with a number of businesses about the progress we are making and was pleased to hear some of the kind comments made.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the week, and your weekend
Tony
