SEFI - Re-alignment of Goods Way
Goods Way, which runs east-west through the site from Pancras Road to York Way, will be raised as part of the KXC development. This will enable the provision of two new bridges across the Regent’s Canal. The construction of the first of these is progressing well (see ‘New Bridge’ section). The new vertical alignment will remain close to the existing alignment for the first 60 metres of the road from Pancras Road, then rise over a similar length to meet the level of the proposed Regent’s Canal footbridge. From this point, the road alignment will rise further to meet the bridge currently under construction. The road then joins the existing level approaching York Way. These realignment works, which will be carried out by BAM Nuttall, also involve diversion of utilities. The works will start in July 2010 and require the temporary closure of the eastbound lane of Goods Way between Pancras Road and York way for 16 months. One lane will remain open for westbound traffic.
Following the realignment of Goods Way (an existing adopted highway), permanent finishes will be applied to the northern footpath and carriageway.
Part of the Southern Enhanced Framework Infrastructure works (SEFI).
