davieG Posted 20 August 2008 Posted 20 August 2008 From OS Important Tranmere Travel Information Posted on: Wed 20 Aug 2008 Due to the Upperton Road Viaduct Redevelopment, Upperton Road remains closed for a second time to connect the permanent road into the existing. This road is closed until 6am on Tuesday (August 26). Diversions are well signposted for both pedestrian and road traffic. Further information about the project and progress reports are available at www.leicester.gov.uk/uppertonroad From the MercDrivers are being warned of rush-hour delays from today after a key road was closed.Upperton Road, a main route across the River Soar in Leicester, was closed on Friday evening.It is expected to reopen at 6am on Tuesday, August 26. The closure is to allow the latest stage of a scheme to replace Upperton Road viaduct.Traffic from the M1/M69 junction is being directed along Soar Valley Way and Aylestone Road.City-bound traffic from Narborough Road is being directed to St Nicholas Circle and Welford Road. Access into Great Central Way is closed this week, with diversions along Western Road, Bruce Street and Wilberforce Road and across the river near Bede Park.Extra signs are redirecting visitors to Castle Park Heritage and Arts Festival, which started today and runs until next Monday. Project manager Aman Mehra said: "This is another exciting major milestone in the project."The timing has been chosen to minimise the impact of the road closure by taking advantage of the school and public holidays.
Koke Posted 20 August 2008 Posted 20 August 2008 The entire city center is a nightmare these days. Horsefair St. is pissing me off with all their constant road works.
Legend_in_blue Posted 20 August 2008 Posted 20 August 2008 What I would do is come to the ground from the Aylestone Road side. Park up off the Aylestone Road for free, on the estate just before the British Gas offices or on the other side of the road there. Or you could try parking up on the Welford Road or pay £3.50 and park on the Saffron Lane sports ground - like me!
Raj Posted 20 August 2008 Posted 20 August 2008 If anyone even thinks about nicking my car parking area, i'll piss on them.
Fox in a Box Posted 21 August 2008 Posted 21 August 2008 Problem? not really no.... just aint bothered....
Stig the Lawnmower Posted 21 August 2008 Posted 21 August 2008 you can park off the Narborough Road on lambert road and walk down a footpath to the canal, trouble is you tread in loads of dog shit so you shoes weigh a ton when you get to the ground
davieG Posted 21 August 2008 Author Posted 21 August 2008 not really no.... just aint bothered.... So why bother to comment?
Fox in a Box Posted 21 August 2008 Posted 21 August 2008 So why bother to comment? freedom of speech.
davieG Posted 21 August 2008 Author Posted 21 August 2008 freedom of speech. Nothing to do with free speech, the point was if you aren't 'bothered' why 'bother' to comment unless you're just attention seeking or trying to increase your post count.
Phube Posted 21 August 2008 Posted 21 August 2008 Serves people right for living that side of town...
lcfc81 Posted 21 August 2008 Posted 21 August 2008 Its been doing my head in!!!!! Takes me twice as long to get that side of the city now!!! Can't wait till they finish, hopefully with a few less roundabouts!
