As part of our wastewater upgrade and renewal programme, there will be a southbound lane closure at the northern end of SH1 Oxford Street between York and Tyne Street. This is necessary to install a new manhole and associated pipework. Southbound traffic will be diverted down Tyne Street during this period.
Key dates and traffic impacts
22 July – 26 July 2024: Southbound traffic on SH1 between Tyne street and York street will be diverted down Tyne Street and on to Cambridge Street. Work will be conducted during the day between 7.30am to 5.30pm. The site will be open to through traffic outside working hours.
29 July – 2 August 2024: Southbound traffic on SH1 between Tyne and York street will be diverted down Tyne Street and on to Cambridge Street. Work will be conducted 24 hours a day to minimise the overall duration and impact of the project. Higgins have been instructed to conduct all the noisy works during the day if at all possible.
5 August – 8 August 2024: Night works only, with Stop/Go traffic management in place on SH1. There will be no diversion during this phase.
For the final stage of works Tyne Street will be closed from SH1 for an estimated 29 days. However, SH1 traffic will move unobstructed during this phase. Dates to be confirmed.
