Works to deliver the Two Tunnels Greenway are due to commence on 4th January. Sustrans are delivering the works in 5 sections to minimise disruption and to allow local residents to use as much of the path as possible during the works. The sections are as follows:

· Devonshire Tunnel portal to Hiscocks Drive bridge (access via Bloomfield Road open space);

· Hiscocks Drive bridge to Monksdale Road (access from Monksdale Road);

· Monksdale Road to St Kildas Road (access from Monksdale Road – NO access from St Kildas Road);

· St Kildas Road to Millmead Road (access from Millmead Road – NO access from St Kildas Road);

· Millmead Road to Bellots Road bridge (access from Millmead Road – NO access from Bellots Road).

The sections will be constructed in this order and no works shall take place to one section only at a time. The rest of the route shall be left open for public use and constructed sections shall be opened prior to the next section being occupied.

Through discussions with officers at the council and Sustrans we have agreed that this is the best way to allow continued access. It is anticipated that works to each section will take approximately two weeks, however Sustrans will be posting notices within Linear Park during the works keeping residents updated on progress.
