Turnmill Street

The new temporary exit and entrance onto Turnmill Street will continue to remain in operation between the hours of 0730 to 1030 and 1530 to 2000 until the new permanent concourse has been completed.

A new gate has been installed in the hoarding to allow access and egress of vehicles to the construction compound. Work has recommenced within the hoarding with the demolition of some of the existing buildings. Scaffolding will be erected along the length of the building and the deconstruction will be undertaken using mechanical hand tools whilst working from the scaffolding.

An excavator will be placed below street level to break out and excavate existing slabs and foundations and an excavator will also be located behind the hoarding at street level to lift materials out of the excavation.

On the weekend of the 26th to the 28th September 2009 a road closure will be required to enable the removal of a porta cabin. The road will be closed from 12.30am on Saturday 26th September until 5am on Monday 28th September 2009. To remove the porta cabin it will be necessary to cut it away from the link bridge and break the foundations around it. This weekend will also see a trench dug outside the temporary entrance to the station during normal working hours.

On the weekend of the 30th October to the 2nd November 2009 a road closure will be required to erect a large 40t crane for the lifting in and out mini piling rigs. The road will be closed from8pm on Friday 30th October until 5am on Monday 2nd November 2009.

The majority of the works within this area will be undertaken during day time hours although a number of works will be undertaken during extended working at night over the weekend.

In addition to the Thameslink work, various utility companies will be undertaking work in Turnmill Street. Some of this work will require road closures. This work is not within our control but we are working with these companies to minimise disruption.
