Works to widen, resurface and improve visibility on the path between Meldreth Railway Station and Station Road (Melbourn) aim to start on Monday 29 July and last for 11 weeks. The path (which forms part of the Melbourn Greenway) will be closed throughout the duration of the construction period. The pedestrian diversion during the path upgrade will follow Station Road, as there is no better alternative available. The new path will be lit and wide enough to safely accommodate all forms of active travel.
How the works will be carried out
Milestone Infrastructure will be working on the path for approximately 11 weeks aiming to start at the end of July and finish in October.
Works will take place during daytime hours 7.30am-5pm Monday-Friday and the path will be closed at all times, seven days a week.
Unfortunately, there is no space to provide safe, temporary access outside working hours alongside our contractor’s machinery, equipment and materials.
“We know the works will affect people who rely on the path – particularly when the school restarts in September – and we would like to apologise for any inconvenience that might be caused. As mentioned, a diversionary route will be put in place to allow access between platforms. We hope to get as much of the works completed as possible during the school summer holidays. We will work with our contractors to minimise disruption as much as possible.”
