Gateway 36 Newsletter No 8 Week commencing Monday 19th April. First published Friday 16th April.
Welcome to the Gateway 36 e-newsletter. Each fortnight, these e-newsletters will provide you with updates on progress, traffic management and any potential disruption surrounding the Gateway 36 development in Rockingham. Please note these works will be ongoing until Summer 2021.
Progress, the past two weeks
Along Dearne Valley Parkway to the west, we have continued to form the new S278 roundabout which will facilitate Phase 3 of the Gateway 36 scheme. Traffic management measures on Dearne Valley Parkway were relocated from Shortwood Roundabout to this area on 6th April.
Earthworks are being undertaken on Phase 3 whilst surface water drainage is being installed on Phase 2, both of which will support the formation of the new roundabout.
Work to form the attenuation ponds on Phase 2 of the development have advanced, with the S38 pond adjacent to the new entrance off Shortwood Roundabout complete and the western attenuation pond scheduled to complete in the next two weeks.
Major earthworks have continued on the main development of site.
The next two weeks
From Sunday 18th April, an additional lane closure will be in place East-bound along Dearne Valley Parkway to allow the new S278 roundabout to be formed as shown below. This new traffic management layout will be in place long-term whilst work to construct the new roundabout is ongoing.
Should you experience or witness an out-of-hours emergency regarding the traffic management measures in place, please call RTS on 01724 848 246.
Over the next two weeks, work to form the new S278 roundabout will continue on both sides of Dearne Valley Parkway including earthworks and surface water drainage installation.
On the main development site, earthworks will continue and we will work towards the completion of the western attenuation pond.
We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works.
All works are scheduled to be complete for summer 2021.
