Traffic Management

Western Footpath

Western Footpath – Works on the western footpath will commence just south of the site compound.

– Works zones will be in sections of approximately 150m.

– Each section will take approximately 3 weeks to complete.

– 2 way traffic will be maintained through this section with a 6m carriageway.

Eastern Footpath / Seaward Side Retaining Wall & Utilities – Works will then continue south along the existing seaward wall to construct the

retaining wall and utilities. – The Contractor is currently proposing a single lane traffic shuttle system (Stop/Go) for

this section of the Works. – The footpath works on the western side will continue further south in parallel with these

works so the works on the opposite side will not clash. – Currently reviewing options to reduce extent of single lane working.
