Progress to date The new water main, with a design life of 120 years, will replace the cast iron main built through the Euston area in the 1920’s. This provides the Camden area with far more resilient clean water infrastructure, reducing the risk of bursts and leakage. Albany Street Cumberland Market Park Village East Robert Street Lane closures continue Road closures continue Road closures continue Programme TBC, expected until Nov-19 until Sept-19 until Dec-19 closure March to Dec-19
Gloucester Gate works - considerations We have learnt from the trial trench • survey works undertaken at the northern end of Albany Street and Gloucester Gate in 2016 and early 2017. During the trial trench survey works, • single lanes were closed. The resulting complex traffic management arrangement did not work well. The survey works also exposed a • number of hazards that the operatives will need to work around.
Gloucester Gate works – benefits of proposal Only two sets of temporary traffic lights in Phase 1, rather than 7 • sets of temporary lights needed for partial closure; more reliable. No temporary traffic lights in Phase 2. Traffic flows freely between • Gloucester Gate Bridge and Albany Street in Phase 2. Reduces the risk of potential rework and associated delays as a • result of finding uncharted obstructions. Programme is shorter than if completed under a partial closure. • Number of vehicle movements between the compound and the • work site is reduced compared to a partial closure, as materials can be stored on-site. Dedicated turning circle/drop-off provided for the nursery. • Space for operatives to work safely around EHV cable and gas main. • At least one footpath always open between Gloucester Gate Bridge • and Regents Park.
Gloucester Gate works – ES The proposal has been assessed by TWUL and is • compliant with the Environmental Statement. Traffic diversions will put be in-place. Works in • Albany Street will stop during Phase 1 of the Gloucester Gate works. Park Village East is also expected to be open during January. VMS advance warning signage will be installed • week commencing 17 th Dec. Air Quality is monitored by the network of • diffusion tubes within the area.

Main Works Civils Contractor Lorry routes – community feedback so far General concerns: Impact of other works: • Capacity of Osnaburgh Loop • TfL CS11 which closes Outer Circle • Capacity at Gloucester Gate • LBC’s cyclist/pedestrian scheme: reduces • Cyclists mixing with LGVs capacity in favour of pedestrians and cyclists • Use of minor roads shown within ES • phase works to avoid programme conflict • Lorry numbers on individual roads Comments on routes: Hampstead left turn: • Mixed responses for use of Stanhope Street • concerns with other works/ closures in the area vs Park Village East • Osnaburgh Loop congestion due to lorry • Favour use of Hampstead Road – requires movements Robert St/ Stanhope St • Create left turn from Hampstead Road onto Euston Road
MWCC Lorry routes – what we’re doing Retaining wider lanes to allow space for overtaking, 1. Cyclists mixing with LGVs where possible Co-ordinating with LBC re Camden High Street & TfL 2. Phase works to avoid programme conflict re: Harrington Square Gardens cycle scheme Further engagement with LBC and CTWG 3. Mixed responses for use of Stanhope Street vs Park Village East Maximising use of Hampstead Road 4. Favour use of Hampstead Road – requires Robert St/ Stanhope St We have looked at initial designs but have received 5. Create left turn from Hampstead Road onto feedback from TfL that the impact on the traffic Euston Road signalling system in the area is not acceptable.
