Lower Bethesda Street temporary closure
As part of the Transforming Cities Fund scheme, we need to close Lower Bethesda Street in two sections to construct a new carriageway, creating a wider pavement and cycle lane.
When will this work take place?
We will close Lower Bethesda Street on Monday 2 October, for approximately three months, with the traffic management remaining on-site at all times for safety reasons.
Station Road
Timescales
The Station Road scheme is currently going through the planning process with detailed design in advanced stages. Subject to planning approval, the scheme mobilisation is expected to be early 2024 with construction throughout 2024.
Station Road works
As with College Road, work to Station Road will be undertaken in phases with appropriate temporary traffic management in place to maintain access and minimise disruption to road users. More detail and timescales will be availble soon.
