We're making the intersection of Ferry Road, Ensors Road and Aldwins Road stronger and safer.
Key information
We'll be strengthening this busy intersection, replacing traffic lights that are at the end of their service life, and adding safe speed platforms on all approaches to the intersection.
We'll be doing this work in two phases. During the first phase, we'll only be working at night from 7pm to 6am between Sunday 24 November and Friday 13 December 2024.
This work will take around three weeks and involves laying cables under the road. We'll also be completing investigations to support the next phase of work, which will begin in the first week of January 2025.
Traffic impacts
During the night works:
- Traffic travelling through the intersection between 7pm and 6am will be reduced to one lane and managed by a temporary stop/go system. Please allow extra time to avoid delays.
- Temporary traffic management (road cones, signs) will be installed as part of the work. There may be some traffic delays and changes to traffic management.
- The speed limit will be reduced to 30 km/h through the site to keep our contractors safe.
- Please adhere to all signage and be aware of cyclists merging.
- There will be no on-street parking available for the duration of work at night.
- While the work is to be undertaken at night, traffic management will still be visible to users throughout the day.
- Businesses that have driveway access within the traffic light-controlled one-way system will need to exercise caution when exiting their property.
Information for residents and businesses
- The nature of the work that we are doing will generate noise, dust, and vibrations.
- Several of the footpaths and pedestrian crossings will be closed while our crew is working. There will be traffic controllers on hand to escort pedestrians across the road.
- Access to residences and businesses may be briefly impacted at times, but our crew will make access available as soon as possible.
- Please advise us if you have specific property access requirements e.g. medical visits, home help, large vehicle deliveries or planned works.
- The work will not impact any services such as water, electricity, telecommunications and gas.
- Please put your bins out as usual by 6am on your collection day. Our team will move them and return them if needed.
