The project so far
We are really pleased to report that we have been running to schedule with the works so far and even managed to get ahead of plan in some areas.
You will have seen our
contractor Eurovia out on site removing pedestrian barriers, undertaking other
pavement decluttering works and working on the traffic signals including adding these boxes (called Nal Boxes) around the bases of traffic lights which do away with bulky temporary barriers.
These initial changes
and exploration works mark the first phase of the project. You can explore what
else is planned via our web pages.
Working space
Ahead of our contractor
Eurovia's temporary compound in Alfred Place, you might have seen a portacabin on Tottenham Court Road outside Marks & Spencer. This is acting as the site office until they move to Alfred Place so it won't be there long!
We hope to be able to share news soon on our new drop in centre where you'll be able to pop in and find out more about the project.
If you want to know
more on this or have any other queries or concerns please do get in touch.

New paving for New Oxford Street
We have started work around New Oxford Street. Our contractor VolkerHighways will be replacing the paving with granite slabs on New Oxford Street between Tottenham Court Road and Dyott Street.
We are also finishing upgrading the traffic lights at the junction with Earnshaw Street as well as adding in a new pedestrian crossing.
Basement Surveys
KirkSaunders Ltd have been out on site undertaking basement surveys. This is our way of making sure none of the works are affecting the buildings in the project area.
Don't forget we have a selection of frequently asked questions on our website which includes everything you need to know on these surveys.
