Hull City Council has announced that the second phase of the footpath resurfacing and reconstruction programme in west Hull is set to kick off on Monday, 6 January.
The upcoming works will target the northern footpath of River Grove, as well as Lulworth Avenue and Lymington Garth, carried out by Wright Civil Engineering Limited. Works will then move onto Newington Avenue and then Boothferry Road between Belgrave Drive and Newington Avenue.
This follows the successful early completion of phase one, which saw upgrades to the southern footpath of River Grove, Vincent Close, and Datchet Garth by Friday, 13 December, a full week ahead of schedule.
Parking bays on Boothferry Road will be temporarily suspended to allow works for take place, however the scheme is being split into three phases to reduce the impact. The bus service will continue to run, however due to the works, motorists are warned that this could slow traffic flow when making stops.
The full programme of works for phase two, including expected completion dates, is as follows:
River Grove northern footpath – Monday 6 January to Friday 30 January
Lulworth Avenue – Monday 6 January to Tuesday 14 January
Lymington Garth – Monday 6 January to Friday 24 January
Newington Avenue – Monday 27 January to Friday 7 February
Boothferry Road between Belgrave Drive and Newington Avenue – Monday 3 February to Friday 21 February.
Cllr Mark Ieronimo, the council’s portfolio holder for transportation, roads and highways, said: “It is pleasing that Wright Civil Engineering Limited have been able to complete phase one of these works ahead of schedule, therefore minimising disruption to residents, for which we thank them.
“We hope that phase two can be completed with such efficiency and thank residents for their patience whilst it is completed.”
