The Next Phase of the on-going scheme to re-bed granite
kerbing along the Thoroughfare is programmed to commence
shortly.
Parts of the Thoroughfare will be closed to vehicular traffic from
Monday 29th June for up to 3 weeks to carry
out this work. Works are planned to take place between 9.30
a.m. and 4.00 p.m. Monday to Friday and will be between
the
junction with Brook Street to Lloyds Bank. A length
of approximately 140 metres.
Pedestrian access will remain as before maintained by temporary
walkways along with conditions for deliveries as before
(
SEE BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS).
Updated 2nd June 2009
Parts of Woodbridge Thoroughfare will be closed to vehicular
traffic from
Monday 9th February 2009 for
up to 6 weeks.
This closure is to enable
Suffolk Highways
Contracting to carry out re-bedding work to the granite
kerb stones along the northern side of the Thoroughfare between the
junction with New Street and the pedestrian walkway leading to
Costa Coffee.
This work is required in order to provide a long term solution to
the problem of loose and breaking kerb stones which are causing
trip hazards.
Works are planned to take place between 9.30 a.m. and 4.00 p.m.
Monday to Friday and should be carried out in 10 metre
sections, with approximately 20 metres carried out each week.
Pedestrian access along the entire Thoroughfare will be maintained
at all times with pedestrian access to premises within the works
area maintained by temporary walkways.
There will be restricted parking in the Thoroughfare whilst the
works are underway. However access for business deliveries
will be maintained. Turning areas will be provided for cars
and light vehicles, however, larger vehicles which deliver during
the day may have to reverse in order to exit the
Thoroughfare. Suffolk County Council have advised that it
would therefore be helpful if as far as possible deliveries can be
carried out before 9.00 a.m. or after 4.00 p.m.
Suffolk County Council plans to suspend works at weekends allowing
vehicular and pedestrian access as normal.
