Work update

The team is currently carrying out footway reinstatement works around the Kirtling Street site. Work started on the pavements around Brooks Court and Kirtling Street in mid July 2023. From 30 October 2023 the team will move on to replace the pavements on the eastern side of Cringle Street and along the section of Kirtling Street which is adjacent to the Riverlight Estate.

The team will be taking possession of a section of the highway while the works are being carried out. The one way traffic system currently in place will continue, with no turning into Cringle Street from Nine Elms Lane and traffic for WRWA and Riverlight diverted via Pump House Lane. Vehicles exiting the Riverlight Estate will still be able to turn left into Cringle Street and then onto Nine Elms Lane.

Working hours for this highway work is 8am to 6pm Monday – Friday. No paving works are planned for Saturdays.

We expect these works to last around nine weeks. There will be periods of concrete breaking, but the team will ensure that there are regular breaks throughout the day to minimise any disturbance.

Our working hours

Standard working hours are:

7am to 8am Monday to Friday - quiet works and setting up
8am to 6pm Monday to Friday
7am to 1pm Saturday

No footway paving works will be undertaken on Saturdays.

We notify residents via email if there are changes to the times listed above. To be added to our site email list email [email protected]
