High Road works 17 Apr – 19 May

HS2 Works Notification: Thames Water works on Ickenham High Road

Thames Water are nearing the completion of their work at the Ickenham Green allotments and the surrounding area. They are now in the process of reinstating work areas.

Between 17 April and 19 May Thames Water will remove the bell mouth of the temporary road off High Road leading to the allotment site.

Traffic management and footpaths

The road will remain open at all times, but there will be traffic management in place to keep the traffic flowing, as some parts of the road will be narrowed. The footpath by the old pub will be closed but footpath on the other side of the road will remain open at all times. Access to the Ickenham Trail and allotments will also be maintained at all times.

Please see details of the works here. https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/thames-water-works-near-ickenham-high-road/
