Anyone who has been to Cheltenham Racecourse Station recently will have noted that Bridge 43 is being surrounded by scaffolding. This is to enable to Gloucestershire County Council cycleway works along the A435 Evesham Road. The works are being managed by Montel Civil Engineering. The scaffolding itself will be used to raise the parapet height (by 5 courses of brick) which is a safety requirement from introducing the cycle way. This is being done on both sides of the bridge to keep the aesthetic. Thanks to all the volunteers for accommodating this installation.
There will also be some drainage works which will involve laying new pipe through the car park and this will be closely managed with Montel to ensure minimal disruption during out peak passenger season.
Hopefully the road closure is not too inconvenient for the majority & thanks again to the warm welcome I have received since starting in March.
Best Wishes,
Sarah Clayton (Infrastructure Manager)
