A3 Burlington Road Flyover Improvement Works

Transport for London (TfL) has appointed Enterprisemouchel, to carry out these improvement works on the A3 Burlington Road Flyover. The works area is shown on the map below.

Why are we doing this work?

The objective of the scheme is to improve conditions for all road users on the A3 Burlington Road Flyover. The following measures are incorporated, following the feasibility design:

·         Improve the waterproofing and drainage system of the flyover.

·         Extend the structural life of the flyover by replacing the bridge joints and steel piers.

·         Improving traffic flow by maintaining the structure and reducing future disruptive refurbishment works.

What times will the work take place?

The works will begin on Monday 10^th December 2012 and will last approximately 8 weeks, or until the work is completed. In agreement with the London Borough’s of Kingston upon Thames and Merton, the working hours for structural and carriageway works will be from 21:30 to 05:00 Monday to Friday.

What we would like you to know

During the works we will try to maintain traffic flow by using lane drops and traffic management, however, an enforceable speed limit of 40mph will be installed for the safety of our construction team.
