As part of the work to develop the Business Park at Forrest Park near Macdonalds, Northumbrian Water is investing £1m in the construction of a new pumping station and the installation of over 1.6km of pipework on the A167, St Andrew’s Way and Heighington Lane.
Work started on Monday 16 October 2017 but the main schedule of works was due to start on Heighington Lane this week, where initially they will be completing trial pits along the road to confirm the precise location of key buried services.
They hope to be in a position to commence drainage work this week and it is expected to be completed by May 2018.
It will be necessary to install temporary traffic lights to construct the works on Heighington Lane leading on to the roundabout with St Andrew’s Way. The remaining sections of drainage along St Andrew’s Way and A167 can be constructed without the need for temporary control using a partial lane closure. Northumbrian Water will however need to close the footpath along the eastern side of St Andrews Way.
