Since then, we have been able to see more clearly what the final flyover structure will look like. Concrete pouring has taken place on the bridge deck which will allow the road to be built over the top of the structure, and over the winter months the earth embankments will continue to settle before laying the surfaces of the new A These changes have extended the working area by 1.
The Downhill Lane improvement will create extra capacity on the junction between the A19 and the A in Sunderland, helping boost the regional economy and plans for the development of the International Advanced Manufacturing Park IAMP. Progress so far We have installed all the panels that will allow us to pour concrete to complete the bridge deck. We have built up the embankments which support the bridge.
The earthworks need to settle over a period of a few months to ensure they are strong and stable. When the embankments are complete to the required height, there will be a period of settlement. Once this is complete, we will then build up the road surface as it crosses over the bridge.
Our work is being coordinated alongside the activities taking place at Downhill Lane. We need to remove as many of the temporary restrictions from the junction as possible, as this will allow us to close the southbound entry slip road at Downhill Lane. Once this closure is in place, we can then continue with building the southern bridge at Downhill Lane.
We have worked on site all the way through the Covid restrictions. All our staff work socially distanced. We are very pleased that finding safe ways to continue working means that we have not had to lay any staff off or place anyone on furlough. We are proud to be supporting the economy of the North East with the majority of our workforce and the companies we use for materials and vehicles being from the North of England.
The site is very visible to the public and presents an excellent image of the industry. It continues to be well organised with prominent signage throughout. The whole area was very clean and tidy. The traffic management is exemplary with regular reviews and changing priorities to maintain a constant flow of traffic.
The bridge is important to this project as it raises the A19 above the existing roundabout. When the scheme is complete, drivers will be able to drive along the A19 over this new bridge meaning they no longer have to stop at the existing junction. Please be aware that closures can change, so visit our Traffic Information pages for the latest information. The bridge will be made from several huge steel beams These will be moved into place by a mobile crane, starting on Friday 4 September.
To complete the job as safely and quickly as possible well need to close the A19 for several weekends in September. The A19 will be fully closed, as well as the approaches to the junction along the A from 8pm on 4 September to 6am on Monday 7 September.
There will be alternatives for non-motorway traffic and local residents accessing Boldon. We have completed building the support walls to retain earth and support the beams, while maintaining strict safeguarding measures, in line with Public Health England guidance, to prevent the spread of COVID The bridleway is now closed to the public — a clear diversion route is in place for walkers, horse riders and cyclists.
It will reopen at the end of August We are preparing for the installation of beams and the bridge deck which is due to take place in September. We have made good progress with earth work, drainage and fencing, while maintaining strict safeguarding measures, in line with Public Health England guidance, to prevent the spread of COVID Now we can turn our attention to building the support walls to retain earth and support the beams, before finally installing the beams themselves.
Later this year the flyover will be in position and ready for the road to be built on it. Next we will start resurfacing work underneath Downhill Lane, which requires the removal of some of the temporary safety barrier. This will be followed by overnight closures from 1 June to resurface the area and install new drainage. Drivers can now use two new lanes on both the northbound and southbound sides of the roundabout, creating the room needed for work on building the flyover to go ahead.
Southbound traffic is due to switch onto new lanes shortly. During the summer months we will be building the flyover to carry the A19 over the roundabout. To do this we have three separate stages — putting in the piers central supports , building supporting walls to retain earth and support the beams, and then finally installing the beams themselves. By the end of the summer the flyover will be in position and ready for the road to be built on it.
We have a programme of weekend closures planned for the rest of We will use these closures to excavate the old carriageway and rebuild the road to the finished levels, as we prepare for these traffic changes. Testo's junction suffers severe congestion at peak times, with delays of up to four minutes per vehicle. Traffic flows through the junction are expected to reach 83, vehicles every day by Our Testo's improvements aim to improve journey time savings of around four minutes by and increase capacity.
Access to the junction to and from the raised A19 carriageway will be via new slip roads and access to the Downhill Lane junction will be provided via two parallel roads that link to the south facing slip roads.
