We have now received the latest update from the senior structures design engineer at county hall and from her comments it would appear that works are approaching completion. Whilst most works are now finished there has been a slight delay to those carried out by one of the utility companies (in this case Northern Gas).
It does seem however that all remedial works should be finished within the next two weeks, providing of course there is no further delay to public utility works.
We have published below, in full, the update we have received from the highways section today and we will continue to publish progress reports as and when we get them:
Further to the update sent on 10th October
regarding the land slip adjacent to the Coast Road to the north of Blackhall I
can report the following progress:
Northern Gas Networks commenced on 13th October
and were expected to take two weeks to complete their repair works.
Unfortunately NGN have taken longer than planned as additional repair works
over and above those planned have been required. Consequently as a result
the remaining safety barrier installation together with the relocation of the
bus stop and erection of the new bus shelter was not able to commence until
today and this remaining work is expected to take approximately two weeks to
complete.
