St Botolph's Circus Regeneration update - upcoming road closures

To help minimise disruption as the regeneration works continue at St Botolph’s Circus, the Jackson Civil Engineering team will be undertaking a series of overnight works.

This will see ducting installed under the road surface to enable the installation of traffic signals and streetlights. The team will also be removing the existing road markings and installing temporary road barriers.

Measures will be in place to minimise the impact of vibration and noise, while the work is underway. During the closure alternative routes will be clearly signposted.
