Upcoming ground investigation works in the Whitehouse Street Regeneration Area

Ground work investigations will begin in the Whitehouse Street Regeneration Area in East Bedminster on Monday 19 January and are expected to last for six weeks, finishing by the end of February.

Access to businesses will remain open throughout the works and businesses located nearby have been contacted directly. Temporary traffic management will be in place to control pedestrians and vehicles. No road closures are required and all works can be conducted whilst keeping the road open to vehicles in both directions, however, when work on St Luke’s Road takes place a temporary lane closure and traffic lights will be in place. Traffic management will only be in place for a day or two at each location at any given time.

Specialist contractors will dig trenches in the ground to assess the size and location of services and utilities under the road. The ground investigation works will not all be carried at once, but across two phases. During the first phase, specialist contractors will spend one day at a time on different sections of the footpaths and carriageway. Once each section is complete, a temporary surface will be put in place and access will be restored. The second phase involves the permanent reinstatement of the footpaths and carriageway. Reinstatement works are anticipated to conclude within one week.

These ground work investigations will be carried out on Phillip Street, Willway Street, Sargent Street, Whitehouse Street, Windmill Close, Princess Street, New Queen Street, Whitehouse Place, Victoria Grove, Spring Street and St Luke’s Road.

These works are required to inform the design of highway improvements associated with the Whitehouse Street Regeneration. Further details will be shared in due course.
