Shrewsbury’s Pride Hill enhancement work to re-start
Pride Hill in Shrewsbury
Work to upgrade and enhance Shrewsbury’s Pride Hill will re-start on Monday 11 February 2019.
The work will be completed by McPhillips (Wellington) Ltd, whose locality and previous experience will allow the successful delivery and completion of the works to the required and expected standard.
McPhillips will be carrying out some preparatory work on Pride Hill next week (week commencing 4 February) in readiness for the work starting the following week.
The works will start from the Butcher Row junction down to High Street, first closing the pavement on the Butcher Row side of the road with access provided to all businesses. Once this has been completed, work will start on the opposite side of the road, before finishing with the middle.
No through traffic (or delivery vehicles) will be permitted within the working areas and as such the road will be closed to vehicles from High Street to Butcher Row.
Pedestrian access will be maintained to properties and businesses at all times, with temporary pedestrian walkways being implemented where required. The contractor will have pedestrian marshals on-site to assist with enquiries and access arrangements for deliveries during the construction works.
The Pride Hill work is part of a programme of enhancement works in Shrewsbury town centre being carried out as part of the Shrewsbury Integrated Transport Package (SITP), and aims to make a positive and consistent change to the quality of the public realm within Shrewsbury town centre.
It is anticipated that the Pride Hill work will take approximately three months to complete, with further remedial works being carried out to the top section once these are completed, and street furniture being installed.
Further information and updates about the work and the Shrewsbury Integrated Transport Package can be found at www.shropshire.gov.uk/sitp.
As usual with works of this nature, there will be some disruption whilst the works are undertaken; however, every effort will be made minimise this where possible. We thank you for your understanding regarding this matter.
