2015 - Island Roads Arreton Roadworks Bulletin No 7

Island Roads Arreton Roadworks Bulletin No 7

29TH MAY 2015

Introduction

This is the seventh works bulletin for Arreton, in which we try to keep you informed of the latest developments on site. We are pleased to inform you that the weather continues to be kind to us

and there have been no delays during the past week.

By now we hope you have seen a noticeable improvement to the carriageway surface throughout Arreton Village and Hale Common. We also hope you agree the disruption and inconvenience that

you have experienced over the previous weeks have been worth it given the improvements made.

Progress to Date

As explained in Bulletin No 6, works continue to progress well and it is still anticipated to complete

the works mid-June. However as this can still be affected by the weather and material production,

we will hopefully be in a position to give you a more definite completion date in the next Bulletin this time next week.

2015 - Island Roads Arreton Roadworks Bulletin No 6

Arreton Works Bulletin No 6

Introduction

This is the sixth works bulletin for Arreton. Other than a minor delay this week due to inclement weather, works are progressing to plan. Please see the update below on the current and upcoming phases.

Progress to Date

Since starting the works on the 20th of April 2015, the weather has been kind to us and works have progressed well. This means that we are currently ahead of programme and anticipate the completion of the carriageway works to be during the mid to later part of June, if we continue at the rate we have managed to date. Although this is good news it needs to be tempered with the thought that weather and factors such as material production may have an impact on progress. We will provide further information on progress to date in the next bulletin.
