The project continues to make excellent progress with the team starting earthworks in May – you may have seen some changes to the landscape from Skidby roundabout to Dunflat Road as works continue to strip topsoil and remove subsoils to be used elsewhere on the project.
Earthworks are also ongoing from the A1079 to the A164 from the A1079 to Lincoln Way, with approximately 105,000m³ of earth has been excavated, transported, and placed – that’s enough to fill over 40 Olympic size swimming pools. With 20 full time machines having been employed such as excavators, bulldozers and earth transporters to complete the operations.
Drainage works continue from Dunflat Road to Coppleflat Lane, with over 1,000m of new pipes to be installed.
Utility diversions continue, including a 400mm diameter Yorkshire Water main between Dunflat Road and Coppleflat Road.
The project team have made excellent progress to construct the new Bentley Bridge, with concrete pours being undertaken to form the bridge abutments – reinforced concrete supports that will support the bridge deck with works commencing on the structures wingwalls
