Further to CCC Cllr Count’s update last week…..
A message from local member Cllr David Connor:
I was pleased to read your comments following the last update so thank you and here is our next update – from the pictures you will see the construction of the road’s embankment, which is south of the railway, is progressing well. At this part of the scheme, more than 20,000m3 of material has been placed and compacted and you can see it starting to take shape.
Steve mentioned in the last update about the cabins, which will house our contractor Jones Bros, these have been delivered and installed at the main compound. They will provide office space and welfare facilities for the workforce and have been carefully designed in terms of size and numbers to maintain social distancing. The main compound will be up and running in the next couple of weeks when facilities such as electricity and water are installed.
Over the next two weeks, Jones Bros will be focussing on continuing to build the road’s embankment and excavation work will start in preparation for the underpass structure. They will also be installing track monitoring along the railway in advance of work starting on the railway bridge. This will ensure the railway track is not affected by the works in any way.
I hope everyone is keeping safe and remember the rule of six from Monday.
Regards
David
