Night works finish early
November 10, 2009Night owls!

Night work on the Manor railway bridge is going well so far.
There are now 15 beams in place with a further seven to be lifted in, after which the finishing works will start.
Relief Road work about to get noisy? That’s missing the point.
October 29, 2009Following a local media headline that ‘work on the Relief Road is about to get noisy’ the Weymouth Relief Road team is reassuring local residents that night working to lift railway bridge beams into place near Manor Roundabout should not keep them awake at night.
As we’ll be working over the railway line we can only do the work at night. The point of the team’s news release to local media was to tell residents about the work, so they knew what was happening if they saw lights or trucks moving about in the middle of the night. Residents close to the area have been informed of the works taking place by letter. As with any construction work there will be some noise as the beams are lifted into place, but it should be kept to a minimum – apart from our responsibility to the local community, the planning authority wouldn’t allow noisy work overnight.

Piling for the Manor railway bridge finished in September and work on the abutments is going well.
It will take until spring 2010 for the bridge to be finished. Work next year will include connecting the bridge to the new Manor Roundabout and to the new Two Mile Roundabout.
