I am very pleased to report that the University has now appointed Gilbert Ash for the junction improvement contract. Part of the reason for deciding to choose this contractor is that they are both very experienced and have appointed a specialist consultancy firm to design and monitor the temporary traffic management solutions during the contract in order optimise traffic flows throughout the contract period, and also to facilitate safe continued access for cyclists and pedestrians.

The site set up will start on the 23 January 2012 followed by a period of familiarisation and work will start in earnest on the 6th February 2012. The work plan is based on as little disruption to the existing junction layout as possible as work progresses on the widening of the access roads and the preparation of the services for the new layout.

The traffic management consultant will be advising throughout this programme in order to minimise delays  but whilst maintaining safe use by motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. At a late stage the roundabout will be removed to enable the final junction configuration to be implemented and this new junction will finally be opened in about 42 weeks from commencement.
