WORK on one of Wokingham’s newest roads is continuing into its second phase after the successful completion of a land access agreement.
The Eastern Gateway section of the South Wokingham Distributor Road needed the sign off from landowners and Network Rail to let contractors Balfour Beatty start work.
It includes a new railway bridge, a new road and a pedestrian/cycle way connecting to a new roundabout on Waterloo Road.
This will mean that the existing Waterloo Road crossing will be closed.
Wokingham Borough Council said that this new part will be constructed in sequence, which will minimise disruption.
Originally planned for October 14 to16, the construction work has been moved to Friday, October 16, Monday, October 19 and Tuesday, October 20 — where a temporary access road will be created.
Works take place between 9.30am to 3.30pm on each day and there will be a single lane of traffic with two-way traffic lights in place.
For more details or to raise a concern, call Balfour Beatty on 0800 121 4444 or e-mail [email protected] specifying “Eastern Gateway” in the subject line.
