Construction work has been completed and the road has reopened.
We are renewing the wastewater pipeline along Hawkestone and Molesworth streets which is aging and in poor condition. Sections of the of the pipe will be renewed to improve the resilience of the network and protect public and environmental health.
Faults have also been found in the stormwater pipelines on Hawkestone Street. We are renewing two major sections of the pipe to reduce flood risk and protect road users and pedestrians.
All Updates
Hawkestone St is open following completion of construction works. Some CCTV and survey works are still underway but the road is fully reopened.
With the Molesworth Street section now completed, works will continue along Hawkestone Street up until the Christmas. We're then aiming to reopen Hawkestone Street for the Christmas break to free things up for the local community. The road will be closed again when works recommence on 8 January 2024.
We're expecting to have the project completed by March 2024 - if not earlier.
