Duchess Street, Shaw – Pencil Brook Flood Alleviation works update:

Trent Road industrial park service road (off Duchess Street)

The progress of the drainage works on the access road off Duchess Street, we have uncovered cellars beneath the road construction. It is necessary that these cellars are filled to make the road safe for traffic. This will involve the removal of the existing carriageway construction above the cellars and filling/compaction with suitable material and the construction of a new carriageway at this location.

Whilst these works are undertaken it will be essential that the road is closed. An emergency traffic order will be implemented to facilitate this road closure.

During this closure period we will endeavour to provide access to properties on the lower part of the access road off Duchess Street but will not be able to provide vehicle access to the upper part of the street. As part of the traffic order no parking will be allowed on the access road off Duchess St.

Following completion of the filling works we will progress to resurface the access road and across Duchess Street under the same traffic order.

Due to the nature of these works, it is difficult to predict accurately how long these works will take but we anticipate the works as follows:

This work is programmed to commence on Wednesday 2nd August 2017 with a completion date of Friday 11th August.
