Hello Woolston ,hope you enjoying the sunny weather!
Works on John’s Road which will be delivered as part of the Woolston & Itchen Active Travel Zone to help address residents’ concerns relating to air quality, speed of traffic, and safety for people walking, wheeling, and cycling on local roads. Through ongoing dialogue with the council, local residents identified Obelisk Road and John’s Road as priorities for active travel improvements.
Following on from the works in Obelisk Road, pedestrian improvement works in John’s Road are planned to start from Thursday 13th July for approximately 2 and ½ weeks. The schedule for these works follows the two phases outlined below, with works taking place on site between 7:00am and 5:00pm each weekday (excluding bank holidays) and 7:00am to 1:00pm on Saturdays:
Works phase and location map Details of working arrangements
Phase 1 – from 13th July for approximately 5 days
Road closure on John’s Road between no.43 and no.57 John’s Road, including the Inkerman Road junction.
The one-way restriction on John’s Road will be temporarily suspended to enable resident access. However, resident parking will be unavailable within the road closure area for the duration of the works within this phase.
Pedestrian access past the works site will be maintained.
Access to Co Op car park will remain available via Portsmouth Road.
Phase 2 – from 20th July for approximately 7 days
Road closure on John’s Road between no.9 and no.25 John’s Road, including the Florence Road junction.
The one-way restriction on John’s Road will be temporarily suspended to enable resident access. However, resident parking will be unavailable within the road closure area for the duration of the works within this phase.
Pedestrian access past the works site will be maintained.
Prior to each phase of the works starting, parking on the carriageway around the works area will be suspended with “no waiting” cones. This is to ensure no disruption is caused to the works taking place. Any vehicles parked in the “no waiting” coned off area may have to be removed so we can continue working.
Following the above works on John’s Road and works recently undertaken on Obelisk Road, we will shortly be carrying out a full resurfacing to Obelisk Road before completion of the Woolston & Itchen Active Travel Zone improvements in your area. We will be in contact with affected residents/businesses prior to these works starting.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption this may cause. Our team on site are trained to work considerately but if you have any problems during construction, please speak with one of the team.
