QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

"To ask the Chief Executive to detail what actions he is taking to deal with Traffic Management issues arising from the long delay in completing works on the Citywest Road junction and will he also take the opportunity to confirm when those particular works will now be completed and will he make a statement?"

REPLY:

This scheme was scheduled to be completed at the end of November 2018 and due to unforeseen underground services and other design issues the finish date was extended. As the project stands now we plan to be completed by Mid-March 2019.

We had anticipated low volumes of traffic last week due to the schools mid-term break and scheduled the final wearing course works to be carried out then, however due to traffic management issues on the first day of those works, it was decided to carry out the work at night (from 19th February). This substantially improved traffic flows during the day and allowed the contractor to carry out the works under low traffic volume conditions.

SDCC apologises for the inconveniences caused to the Residents and businesses during the course of these works.
