Application submitted for night-time working at M56 Junction 12
Merseylink has submitted an application to Halton Borough Council to allow it to work overnight and at weekends at the M56 Junction 12 and along the Weston Point Expressway.
It is applying to be able to work at night from 7pm to 5am from Monday to Friday and at weekends during the day – from 7am to 5pm.
If permission is granted, this will allow the team to eventually reduce the amount of work done during the day, which will reduce traffic delays in the area.
Electricity main diversion on Clifton Park in Runcorn
Scottish Power will be on site in January to re-route an electricity main along Rothbury Close and Betchworth Crescent. The work will begin on 5 January and is expected to last for around three weeks. The Scottish Power team will ensure local residents will still have access to their driveways during the work.
The electricity main needs to be diverted because it currently runs alongside the main road network in this area, and that main road network is being improved.
The main bridge
Work is continuing on the trestle bridge across the river, which should be completed in the spring. Construction of the exterior of the south cofferdam is nearing completion and we are now starting to stockpile sand ready for the infilling work to begin the in the New Year. Read more →
