Details
There has been a further delay to our work on Simeon Quay, which has had an impact on the project’s expected end date.
The work is now due to finish mid December 2021, not August as earlier communicated – although this is dependent on the weather and whether any further unforeseen issues arise.
The delay is due to a landslip occurring below the construction area of the new retaining wall. This slip needs to be repaired and stabilised prior to the completion of the retaining wall and road works.
The hours of work and impacts remain the same.
Work continues to be undertaken predominately on day shifts and night shifts will be required for some roading activities.
Impact of work:
- There will be some noise disturbance.
- Some evenings Simeon Quay will be reduced to one lane, with stop/go traffic management in place. This is likely to cause delays overnight, particularly for west bound traffic coming from the tunnel and heading along Simeon Quay.
- A temporary queueing route will be set up for west bound traffic (heading towards Governors Bay and Naval Point), in case of heavy queueing demands.
- The queueing route will be along London Street, between Dublin and Canterbury Streets, on night shifts only – when traffic may be reduced to one lane.
- Some on-street parking will be restricted for safety reasons.
The Simeon Quay work is part of the renewal programme for our bridges and retaining walls across the city, which ensures their safety and effectiveness.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
