Latest News on Station Road Closures - Rickmansworth

Just received from TFL:
 
"The new bridge is currently being constructed within Victoria Close and the full bridge replacement work is scheduled to take place during the planned closure of the Metropolitan line on the following dates:

•    Friday 25, Saturday 26, Sunday 27 & Monday 28 March

Although the majority of the Underground network will be operating normally that weekend there will be no Metropolitan line service between Moor Park and Amersham/Chesham, and no Chiltern line service between Amersham and London Marylebone. Rail Replacement Bus services will operate.

The station will remain open until the last train on Thursday night and will re-open in time for the first train on Tuesday morning. The work will be continuous throughout the Easter weekend.

In order to facilitate the installation of the new bridge, it will be necessary to implement the following highway closures:-

•    Station Road will be closed between 22:00pm and 05:00am on the nights of Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 March
•    Station Road and the Station Approach bus lane will be closed between 22:00pm on Tuesday 22 March until 06:00am on Tuesday 29 March
•    Homestead Road and Station Approach will be closed nightly between 22:00pm and 06:00am from Tuesday 22- Monday 28 March inclusive
•    Station Approach will also be closed for a ten minute period from 20:00pm-20:10pm on Friday 25 March for movement of bridge decks between Station Road and the station forecourt
•    The A412 will also be closed between 02:00am and 03.30am on Saturday 26 March for movement of bridge decks between Victoria Close and Station Approach

A traffic management system will be in place throughout the closures, and we will begin to prepare the worksite from approximately 22:00pm on Tuesday 22 March with main works starting after midnight. To ensure the safe conduct of these works we will also be required, on occasion, to shut the pedestrian footpaths on Station Road. Marshals will be on hand to assist pedestrians and diversion routes with clear signage will be installed directing pedestrians to the station.

In order to facilitate the installation of the new bridge, it is also necessary to carry out preparation works at track level. These will be undertaken between 02:00-04:30am on the night of Saturday 19th (Sunday morning). Although some noise and increased traffic in your area is unavoidable during the works, we will do our best to limit any disturbance."
