The embankment has now been completed between the underpass and the railway bridge, alongside Star Pit.
The precast concrete parapets that extend out from the railway bridge, forming part of the structure and acting as a safety barrier for people using the bridge, were craned into position last week. The works are now progressing to install the vehicle restraint barrier (VRS), drainage and kerbs along this section of embankment (pictured left).
From Monday (23 May), commuters will be permanently using the new roundabout (pictured right) at the western end, opposite Funthams Lane. Traffic lights will be in operation from 9am on Monday, 23 May until late afternoon on Friday, 27 May, to allow the western tie-in to be completed, while the new bus stops will also come into use.
