Radcliffe Observatory Quarter project

Traffic management

Road markings were removed 24 June 2018 through the  site to enable removal of the cycle lanes and allow two-way running traffic.

Provisional bus stops have been provided outside of the works area and a temporary pedestrian crossing is in place until completion of the works. This arrangement is estimated to be in place until the end of August before moving into shuttle working under traffic signals.

Progress

Excavation between gates 1 and 3 of the Radcliff Infirmary Quarters has been completed, new realigned drain kerbs have been installed and new footway constructed. The excavation of the west kerbs and footway is under progress between Gates 1 and 5, laying of realigned kerbs and footway will follow on completion.
