Construction information

Our partners at VolkerHighways are working in sections to build the cycle and pedestrian route, starting at the eastern end of Woodlands Avenue and working towards Palmer Park.

Construction of the scheme has been split into three phases:

  • Phase 1: Woodlands Avenue
  • Phase 2: Church Road
  • Phase 3: Culver Lane 

Our contractor will be using a combination of road closures with diversions and, where necessary, temporary traffic lights. These closures will be carried in sections, as per the images below. We are closing small sections of road at a time minimise disruption.

Vehicle access to properties may be restricted at times, and the construction team will keep residents informed. Pedestrian access will generally be open but may sometimes be restricted for safety reasons. 

The works along Woodlands Avenue should be finished by mid-August, and the teams will do all they can to work quickly and safely while minimising inconvenience. However, it could take longer if there are unforeseen circumstances like bad weather.

There will be advance warning signs on site and further details, including maps with diversion routes and up-to-date schedules, are available on the project webpage.

Further works on Church Road and Culver Lane will be starting over the summer, with dates and additional details to be confirmed.
