NUNS ROAD CLOSURE

| 0 comments

News from CWAC:

As part of the current works in the city centre to install a new surface rainwater drain to a river outfall along Castle Drive, the following closure will take place:

Nuns Road will close on Monday 29th March 2021 and is expected to reopen in January 2022, this is to allow for significant drain shaft works at the junction of Nuns Road and Grosvenor Road.

The tunnel shaft will be approximately 7m wide and 11m deep. A short video of the shaft construction process being used is available: https://youtu.be/LfVPqihZWO8?t=100 (starts at 1:40).

As a result, only emergency vehicles will have access to this junction for safety reasons. Access-only routes to Blackfriars, Nuns Road properties, Roomzzz Aparthotel and from the HQ Building/Abode Hotel car park exit will remain open to/from the Watergate Street direction only.



Pedestrian and cycle access along Nuns Road in both directions will be maintained during these works.



Our highways teams are working very closely with the tunnel contractors to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum and the timescales can be kept subject to any unforeseen delays.

We greatly appreciate your patience while these works are carried out and apologise for any inconvenience.
