Summary of Traffic Management and Intended Works
Programme and Procedures
Millgate Phase 1 - Drawing No.1
Proposed 4 day closure on Millgate. Week commencing 12th September 2005.
The contractor intends to have 3 gangs working in the area. It is intended
to concentrate on kerbing work and reinstatements in the carriage way, then
concentrate on paving/cobbling, generally working southwards. Houseman & Falshaw
do not anticipate completing all the paving/cobbling in this area. Deliverers
into shops in area are to be escorted in to Millgate from the Market Place,
allowed to unload whilst parked on cobbles or existing carriageway and then
escorted out of the site in a northbound direction.
Millgate Phase 2 - Drawing No.2
Proposed duration 19 days, with all roads open to traffic. Commencing 16th
September 2005 until 12th October 2005.
It is intended to work on paving build-outs near Black Bull Public House and
continue cobbling works again in a southerly direction.
Removing the front row of parking on the west side of Millgate is to allow
shop delivery vehicles a place to unload or traffic to divert around whilst
plant and construction deliveries are parked on the existing carriageway.
Kirkgate, sign and ducting works elsewhere in Thirsk
Proposed duration 21 days, with localised Traffic Management, but generally
roads will remain open to traffic. Commencing 16th September 2005 until 14th
October 2005.
Finkle Street Phase 1 - Drawing No.3
Proposed 10 day closure on Finkle Street. Weeks commencing 26th September
2005 and 3rd October 2005.
During early part of road closure the contractor has allowed for finish of
paving at the build-outs at Black Bull, however realistically it is understood
he believes this work is likely to have been completed.
Similarly the area of cobbling and parking is anticipated to be much less
than shown but at this stage feels unable to confirm a smaller area. However
it is his intention that he introduce the traffic management on Millgate as
shown on Drawing No.4 as soon as practical.
It is understood the contractors’ intention is to concentrate on the
kerbing and works to the narrow footways in this period.
Finkle Street Phase 2 - Drawing No.4
Duration 11 days with all roads open to traffic. Commencing 10th October 2005
until 24th October 2005.
It is understood that the contractor intends to concentrate on build-outs,
cobbles, paving and block paving in the car park area and that the contractor
would reduce the size of the compound as he could.
Millgate/Finkle Street – Full Road Closure - Drawing No.5
Full Closure for 4 days. Commencing 24th October 2005 until 27th October 2005.
This was originally intended for all surfacing work in the area however Thirsk
Division have asked to have this period extended to include the resurfacing
of the whole area. Some of this area was intended to be carried out in the
previous Thirsk Market Place resurfacing scheme but was left out due to our
impending scheme. At this stage I am unsure of the exact limits but assume
it is the whole area covered by our works.
Also in this period is included the imprint surfacing, anti-skid surfacing
and white lining. It is intended this will be carried out closing each road
individually and re opening it prior to the work on the next one being undertaken.
It is intended to implement these closures in the following order:
a) Millgate/Traffic island as per Traffic Management Drawing No.1
b) Kirkgate
c) Finkle Street as per Traffic Management Drawing No.3
d) A61 Market Place
Once all the above works are completed, the other lining works ie. Car park,
disabled bays etc. will be carried out with no interference to the main traffic
routes.
Works completed 27th October 2005, with clean up/handover on the 29th October
2005.
