The first phase of the works in Gipping Way/Station Road is coming to an end, the new footway will be opened and cones removed from the road (the new widening will left coned off).
On Monday 15th February 2010 the other side of Gipping Way will be reduced in width between Station Road West and Union Street West, alongside the Aldi Supermarket.
Given the restricted working space alongside the supermarket, pedestrians on Gipping Way will have to use the footway on the other side of the road.
Shortly after this, work will commence on the other side of the Junction in Gipping Way outside Hopgood’s.
The works on this side of Gipping Way (west side) should take 3 to 4 weeks.
Some delays may occur due to the reduced number of lanes at the junction, but at least one lane in eachl direction will be available at all times.
However during this Phase we will have to make some temporary adjustments to the existing traffic signals at Station Road - unfortunately the use of temporary 4 way lights during these adjustments will cause delays, but this should only be for one day.
Works will continue on Gipping Way at the new relief road junction for the next 4 weeks with the realignment of the footways followed by the installation of the new traffic islands in the middle of the road.
Works are also in progress in Creeting Road between Elizabeth Way and the Tomo Industrial Estate, most of these works should be alongside the existing road, but two traffic signals may be required from time to time.
