Dear Stakeholder,

Cable Street junction with Cannon Street Road

Transport for London (TfL) has appointed CVU (Colas, Volkerhighways and URS) to replace the traffic lights at the junction of Cable Street with Cannon Street Road. Works will be taking place on the footway and carriageway.

To ensure the safety of road users and workers carrying out the works, traffic management involving temporary traffic lights will be deployed on site during these works.

Why are we doing this work?
CVU on behalf of TfL are replacing traffic signals that have reached the end of their 15 year life cycle. The modernisation of the traffic signals will improve reliability and maintenance.

Cable Street junction with Cannon Street Road is an important route for through road uses and, as such, is a difficult route to maintain. We have arranged the work into a suitable number of phases to reduce the amount of disruption caused and to maintain road capacity as much as possible at all times.

What times will the work take place?
The works will begin on Monday 20 October 2014 for six weeks, or until the work is completed, depending on the weather.

In agreement with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, the working hours will be from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 18:00 with weekend working involving road closures on Saturday between 08:00 and 18:00 and on Sunday between 09:00 and 16:00.

What we would like you to know
Transport for London is firmly committed to minimising disruption. We have worked closely with our contractor, CVU and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in order to reduce the impact of these works on road users, local residents and businesses as far as possible.
