MOTION NO. 13

MOTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

"That this Area Committee requests the Chief Executive provide an update report on the road improvement works on the R120 and for this report to include the current progress to date, if the project in running on time, the date works will finish and if the project will finish on budget."

REPORT: 

Work commenced on site on the Adamstown Road (R120) and Nangor Road (R134) Improvement Scheme in November 2017 and is due to be complete in February 2019. The project is currently on programme with about 40% of the works now complete, this includes;

• New services 60%
• New road construction 50%
• New Bridge 60%

The Resident Engineering staff liaise on a continuous basis with local landowners and sports clubs/organisations and any issues are resolved as they occur.

Traffic is maintained and managed by the Contractor in accordance with the Contract and in consultation with the Resident Engineering Staff. Single lane running is necessary on occasion and such is manged with traffic signals and overridden manually when required. Only a handful of complaints have been received on traffic issues to date.

The Project is currently on budget. However, the Contract is only 40% complete and the final figure will be dependent on final measure, legitimate contractor claims and acceptable value engineering proposals.
