Vital work to improve Mead Way is continuing to make good progress, despite the COVID-19 situation.
The contractor has been carrying on with drainage work, which has involved some deep excavations to connect into existing apparatus. The footpath has also been dug up, as can be seen in the photo below.
The stretch of road between the Meads and Westmead roundabouts remains under a full 24/7 closure. Due to a burst water main, Tewkesbury Way was also closed for five days resulting in the diversion route for Mead Way being adjusted to compensate for this closure. Tewkesbury Way has since re-opened and the original diversion route for Mead Way has been re-established.
The contractor is going to begin to install kerbs and street lighting columns.
Two utility companies will also be attending site soon to carry out their respective diversionary work while exercising social distancing and safe operating procedures.
Work will continue at Mead Way for as long as we are able to, but we are closely following government guidance and making changes to the programme where necessary.
