Two huge cranes were in action yesterday as the roundabout development on Cambridge Road near the Velodrome reached another milestone.
The cranes installed 16 pre-cast underpass units under the new roundabout, which will help connect Cambridge’s growth areas with the rest of the town and provide safe crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.
Project engineer Pochara Panitcharoen said the underpass installation marks another pivotal event in the project, and though there were some disruptions along Cambridge Road the underpasses were installed earlier than expected.
“Closures were coordinated throughout the day so the large trucks could transport the underpass units across the road.”
“There is no change to the layout of the road and cyclists and pedestrians will still be able to use the same temporary path currently in place, and the temporary 30km/hr speed limit remains in place,” Panitcharoen said.
“We ask that you continue to follow the instructions of the teams on site, and we thank you for your continued patience.”
Work on developing the roundabout is expected to be completed by September next year.
