A construction site will be set up.
Works taking place
A construction site will be set up along the rail corridor in Churchill Street to start work on relocating the Combined Services Route (CSR). The CSR consists of a number of electrical conduits for rail signalling, communication, and power cables to enable trains to travel on the rail line. The CSR needs to be relocated and upgraded before work can start on excavating the trench and building the new station.
The CSR works will commence on Monday 14 February, and will include the installation of traffic controls and concrete barriers along Churchill Avenue to ensure works can be undertaken safely.
There will be an increase in construction vehicles and machinery accessing the area.
This work will be ongoing throughout 2022.
