A busy Milton Keynes road is set to reopen tomorrow following 33 weeks worth of work.
A brand new roundabout has been installed on the H9 Groveway, at the junction with Walton Drive to accommodate the new housing development site ‘Walton Manor’.
Work started back in May and has taken around 7 months to complete.
With the brand new roundabout now installed, the road is set to reopen tomorrow afternoon (23 December)
Milton Keynes Development Partnership (MKDP), who own the Walton Manor site, commissioned MK Council to design and implement the scheme to help traffic flow and reduce congestion from the housing development which will provide 174 new homes.
The scheme took around 33 weeks and was completed in two phases due to the scale, complexity and amount of work needed.
Works included the diversion of six major power supply cables by Western Power Distribution which is being coordinated into the scheme.
A main gas pipe was also located underground so for safety reasons, no mechanical diggers could be used, and the area around it has to be completely hand dug.
