26 February 2007
Good progress has been made resurfacing La Route de la Haule, despite difficult weather conditions, and work on Phase 2 from Beaumont to Bel Royal is now due to start on the evening of Tuesday 27th February, a week early.
This phase of the works is on the busiest section of road, from Beaumont to Bel Royal, and includes extensive strengthening works to prolong the life of the road, which will take approximately 10 weeks. To avoid the significant traffic disruption that would otherwise occur, it is essential that the works take place only during evenings, Monday to Friday 6.30pm – 2.00am , when traffic flows are lower. All noisy work will be limited to before 11pm .
During working hours the road will be made one way for West bound traffic from Bel Royal to Beaumont . Town bound traffic will be diverted via Mont Fallu or La Rue du Craslin, which will be made one way each evening to ease traffic flows.
The scheduled day time bus service for St Brelade passengers will return to normal. During evening working hours the outward bound bus services from town will not be affected, but return journeys will be via La Rue du Craslin therefore, passengers for stops within the works site will need to embark and disembark at stops just before or just after Beaumont or Bel Royal.
Also during the second phase, occasional full road closures will be required and to reduce disruption these will take place after 9.00pm , warning notices will be posted in advance, special diversions signed and special provision will be made for buses to ensure delays are minimised.
Delays are anticipated during the early evening and at times of full road closure. The travelling public is advised to allow more time for their journeys and motorists are requested to avoid the area if possible.
Transport and Technical Services will be liaising with Ronez Ltd to ensure that nuisance and disruption is minimised and managed. Where inconvenience is inevitable, residents, the travelling public and businesses will be provided with clear information in advance of the work. Advertisements and signs identifying the extent of the works and diversions will be posted leading up to the works.
