Next stage of works to begin on Union Street Central

The next stage of works on Union Street Central are due to begin on Monday with the installation of a new drainage system.

This will involve removing old tram tracks which were buried below the existing road surface and removing small sections of the concrete slab. This process will generate noise and dust at times and measures will be taken to minimise the impact.

The drainage works are expected to take around six weeks and are expected to be completed by Friday 27 September 2024.

Once the drainage installation is completed, the remaining concrete slab will be removed and preparations will begin to install the new kerb area.

During these works shops and services in the Union Street Central area will remain open for business as normal and access for the public will be maintained.

Anyone who has any questions or requires further information about the works can contact the site team by email on streetscape-market@morrisonconstruction.co.uk.
