Osney reach - East Street, Oxford.
Details
Construction of coffer dam in the river to enable inspection/ repair to the face of the Old Power Station façade. This will restrict the width of the river at this point by 1/3 for approximately 200 yards (183 metres). Construction starting week commencing Monday 1 November 2021 (approximate completion date 15 December 2021).
Construction team will place the initial piles into river bed manually. Following this a mobile crane will be placed on top on these piles and work upstream fitting piles in place. This will cause periodic disruption to navigating craft and we ask that vessels obey the traffic light system that will be placed at either Osney lock downstream, or traffic lights upstream of the Botley Bridge for this period and the following set period till full completion of works on 19 April 2022.
There will be a river safety boat in operation at all times when the overhead crane is in operation. Instructions from the safety boat must be adhered too at all times.
The moorings on East Street opposite the construction site will be suspended from Sunday 31 October 2021 till completion of works no later than Tuesday 19 April 2022. Signage will be placed along East Street to reflect this.
We apologise for any inconvenience these works cause and thank you for your patience during this time.
