A message from Cllr Steve Count, Leader of Cambridgeshire County Council, said:
Since our last update from Cllr Boden, the abutment walls for the underpass have been completed (pictured right), with the bridge beams for the structure being delivered and installed next week.
The filling of a section of Star Pit continues (pictured left), with Jones Bros using long-reach machinery to transfer materials into the quarry. Star Pit is being filled to allow the road to be constructed on top.
I hope you saw our response to the messages from the last update, but we listened to your concerns and made changes. The recent flooding on the B1040 has washed away a section of the embankment near the Dog-in Doublet bridge, this has resulted in emergency work being needed involving two-way traffic lights. These will remain in place until the bank is repaired. We postponed some King’s Dyke work while separate temporary traffic lights were in place relating to the A605 Milk and Water Drove by Peterborough City Council. These lights have since been removed.
Therefore, the planned King’s Dyke work to build a temporary access road will start on Monday (8 March) for a week and will be off-peak from 9.30am to 3.30pm to minimise disruption as far as possible. There will be no traffic management restrictions on the A605 at the works site during peak hours. The team will also be manually controlling the traffic lights so they can adjust the lights as needed depending on the traffic and the level crossing.
Thank you for your patience while we carry out the work for this much needed project. The traffic lights on the A605 are short-term, the team will be monitoring the situation and will carry out the work as quickly as they can.
Steve
