Works to rectify significant structural damage caused by the landslip on the A1086 between Blackhall and Horden are continuing (please see previous monthly update posts on this site for background information).
We continue to receive queries on a regular basis from residents understandably keen to know when these works are due for completion. Following our earlier request for a progress report we have received an update this evening from the senior structures engineer within the highways section at county hall. We have reproduced her comments in full below for information:
Further to the update from last month regarding the land slip adjacent to the Coast Road to the north of
Blackhall I can report the following progress:
The site clearance / site mobilisation works commenced during the week of the 11th August with the main works commencing, as programmed, on Monday 1st September. The earthworks sub-contractor completed their element of the construction works on 3rd October.
The remaining safety barrier installation together with the relocation of the bus stop and erection of new bus shelter is expected to be completed by 31st October.
From the 13th
October for two weeks we have also co-ordinated with Northern Gas Networks to
work within our traffic management to undertake maintenance works on their apparatus.
We have asked for a further progress report in 3 weeks time and we will publish all details on this site as soon as we receive it.
