Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 During most of July, Ecclesall Road will be partially closed overnight. Streets Ahead letters have already been sent out. Works on this, the main A625 trunk route south-westwards from the City Centre, will be overnight (1900hrs-0600hrs M-F). Between 1900-2200hrs., a one-way scheme will operate; thereafter, there will be total closure: presumably of discrete sections and not the entirety. At least SCC picked a less-studented time of year; but it will be fairly difficult even so. Buses diverted, cars susceptible to being towed-away, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not life threatening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodie Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 There will be chaos and someone will moan. Moan that the roads are full of potholes then moan again when they are being repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 More news: Also Ecclesall Road South to be resurfaced (overnights BUT with full road closure) from: a. 10 July (Banner Cross- Blenheim Mews) for four weeks; and b. 24 July (Blenheim Mews- Abbey Lane) for two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6chris Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm surprised they're resurfacing the whole thing, as although some parts are in a shocking state, others are still smooth enough to be left for the time being. I'd say Knowle Lane to Abbey Lane is fine as it is, and Hunters Bar down to Summerfield Street is okay. The bits I'd resurface are Hunters Bar to Knowle Lane (the worst bit) and Summerfield St down to Moore St roundabout. Yes it will cause disruption, but the bottom section can easily be bypassed using Psalter Lane/Cemetery Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you on the Ecclesall Rd South bit though, seems fine on two wheels and four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that one cannot turn right, at Banner Cross, from Psalter Lane into Ecclesall Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pomona to Hunters bar, I'm never doing more than a few mph, so not sure about that bit needs doing Also Ecclesall Road South to be resurfaced (overnights BUT with full road closure) from: a. 10 July (Banner Cross- Blenheim Mews) for four weeks; and b. 24 July (Blenheim Mews- Abbey Lane) for two weeks blimey four weeks?! That's quite a detour around it for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
