Works are progressing well on Maid Marian Way and the end is in sight for works on the highway.
The junction is now configured with permanent signals which went live on 14 June and are working well at keeping the traffic moving through the area.
In addition to the resurfacing works, the Thomas Bow team are doing the last jobs on the project – swales (which manage rainwater runoff) and the new rain garden as well as putting the finishing touches on the paving, benches and kerbs.
While the highways element of the project is almost complete, teams will need to return this winter to plant more than forty new trees (trees need to be planted during their dormant season) – and the area will also see the installation of a new piece of public artwork over winter 25/26.
The final part of the works on the road are the surfacing and lining of the carriageways. The majority of these have now taken place between July and mid-August, but the emergency Severn Trent Water closure of Upper Parliament Street has impacted on our plans to resurface Mount Street so we will return to carry out this resurfacing on 26, 27 and 28 August (overnight from 1opm – 6am).
