Gateway 36 Newsletter No 9 Week commencing Monday 3rd May. First published Friday 30th 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 entry to Phase 3 of the Gateway 36 scheme. Traffic management measures to close lanes are now in place in this area and surface water drainage installation is ongoing on both sides of Dearne Valley Parkway.
Both attenuation ponds on Phase 2 of the scheme are now complete, with pre-seed erosion control matting now visible as the finish surface.
Major earthworks have continued on the main development of site.
The next two weeks
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. We will also backfill the existing highway ditch and prepare for the new carriageway with stone, ducting and kerbs planning to be installed in the coming weeks.
On the main development site, earthworks will continue.
All works are scheduled to be complete for summer 2021.
