A thriving business location at the heart of a revitalised and vibrant premier European city
Commercial District highways update
On Dale Street, work is continuing on the footpath from Moorfields to Vernon Street. This work will continue until early next week when Vernon Street reopens to traffic at its junction with Dale Street.
The next phase will work in the area between Vernon Street and Cheapside and will include the temporary road closure of Cheapside and Hockenhall Alley to allow the construction of new raised sections of footpath across the side roads along Dale Street.
During this closure, access into Cheapside and Cunliffe Street will still be via Tithebarn Street but egress will be unavailable onto Dale Street making the streets temporarily two way. The two streets will not be closed simultaneously. Businesses and residents have been advised via Consultation leaflets.
The work area will then move in sections towards Hatton Garden before moving back along the opposite side of the road. Delays are being experienced due to shallow underground services found on site but the City Council is working with partners to undertake diversion works to minimise delays to the construction period.
Transco upgrade works are expected in the area around Hackins Hey which will close for a weekend on a date to be agreed to minimise impact upon local traffic and businesses.
The whole section of ‘blacktop’ carriageway along Dale Street between the flyover and Exchange St East will be reconstructed before the end of the scheme.
Phase one of work on Old Hall Street, on the footpath outside the Radisson Hotel has been completed. Work is continuing on the opposite footpath in the same location although progress was slowed due to emergency works by Scottish Power in the same location.
Work in this section of the street from Leeds Street junction to Old Leeds Street will take approximately another two weeks and will include the removal of the pedestrian island at the junction of Old Leeds Street on weekend 3 and 4 July.
The whole of the CCMS works in the Commercial District are expected to be completed by early 2011.
