Works basically comprised of the closure of Coltsgate Hill road, and the demolition of some existing buildings,walls etc. in order to make way for the new inner relief link road approx 160 metres in length between Coltsgate Hill and the new development on Blossom gate.

 

There was some archaeological interest within the boundary of the site during the initial phase and works progressed in conjunction with there excavations and observations.

 

Ground improvements and remediation works followed to stabilize the ground prior to the construction of approx 160 linear metres of retaining walls upto a max height of 6m. These walls were mainly built from recycled materials saved form the building and walls previously demolished.

 

A part of the contract was down to the statutory bodies diverting buried services to make way for the roads sub structure especially around North Street and Coltsgate Hill, with careful planning and co-ordination these works were completed ahead of programme.

 

The road construction comprised of a new sub structure, new kerbs, road macadam, footpaths, street lighting, signage, drainage, lining works and the retaining walls.
