Installation of new surface water drainage system including 12.0m deep outfall manhole in the carraiegeway.
Reconfiguration of traffic Islands
Installation of Anti Skid to all junction approches

Due to Church Road being designated a Highway Agency ‘Red Route’, the majority of works which affected trafic flow had to be undertaken throughout the night and during the weekend. Extensive pedestrian management was implemented due to the proximity of a local secondary school within the work site.
