Lydgate Lane will close for two days at the end of the month for resurfacing.
The area around the Cross Lane and Ryegate Crescent junction will be closed from 7am on Monday 28 October until 6pm on Wednesday 30 October 2013.
Diversion routes will be signed. Access for pedestrians and emergency vehicles will be available at all times.
Local residents will still have access throughout the work, although there will be no on-street parking during this time. Amey advise that vehicles parked on street may be towed away and you will need to pay a fee to have your car released.
What are your thoughts on the Streets Ahead project so far?
A representative from Amey will be in attendance at this week’s Crosspool Forum Open Meeting/AGM, giving you the chance to ask questions and make comments on the progress of the project to resurface Sheffield roads, pavements and replace streetlights.
The meeting is on Thursday 24 October at St Columba’s Church and starts at 7pm.
You’ll also be able to give your concerns on local issues to local councillors, the police and council officials. A provisional agenda can be downloaded below.
Streets Ahead improvements have been delayed in Tapton Hill
Crosspool residents living on Tapton Hill are receiving notifications from Streets Ahead notifying them of delays to the improvements and new dates for when work will take place.
On Monday 5 August, work commenced a month later than planned on Vernon Terrace, Ryegate Road, Ryegate Crescent and Bosville Road. People living on these streets should have received a letter about this.
Lydgate Lane residents were expecting work to begin at night on 12 and 15 August, but this has been delayed and will instead take place Monday 19 to Friday 23 August 2013 between 7am and 7pm. Cars will be diverted, although access for pedestrians and emergency vehicles will be available at all times.
After a review of road conditions in the area, Cross Lane will now also be resurfaced. Residents will be informed by letter once a date is confirmed.
Underground cabling issues have meant that installation of new street lighting in Tapton Hill will start in November with a projected completion date of January. The heritage lights which are due to be installed in the Broomhill conservation area are on order. Pavements will be resurfaced as street lights are replaced.
The roads, pavements and streetlights of Sheffield are due to be upgraded as part of the Streets Ahead project over the next few years.
