Good afternoon
Our team has remained on track with the timelines discussed at the stakeholder site visit on 3 July and we can confirm that the complex repair part of our work will be completed in the coming days.
This means we will be ready to move towards the testing and commissioning phase next week, before we hand the site back to TfL at the end of August. Following this,
TfL will then need to complete final reinstatement and resurfacing works in the area where work has been taking place before they can fully reopen the road network.
Alongside our commissioning work, from next week our team will begin removing plant and materials from our working area.
Throughout August, the excavations will remain open on Southend Arterial Road and Eastern Avenue, this is to allow for the final connections to be made at the end of the testing and commissioning phase.
We continue to work closely with TfL and remain focused on completing the remaining work as quickly and safely as possible, to allow TfL to restore full access to the road network while protecting vital water supplies.
We are very sorry for the ongoing inconvenience caused by these works. All parties are working to complete the remaining activity with the least possible additional disruption.
