PLYMOUTH city centre is set for more disruption as a huge "temporary road" is carved down the middle of Armada Way. Shoppers are being warned the work, part of a £30m revamp, will be "noisy and dirty" but shops will remain open.
Contractors Morgan Sindall will be creating the new "haul road" through the busy thoroughfare to allow construction materials and machinery to be moved around the central section of Armada Way and therefore keep workers and the public safe. The road is going to be formed between Mayflower Street and Place de Brest - which is Zone 2 of the Armada Way scheme.
The raised beds which date from the 1980s will be removed and the surface levelled. Plymouth City Council admitted the work is likely to be "noisy and dirty" initiallybut stressed the temporary road will be a significant distance from shop fronts and separated from the public by tough and "more permanent" CLD fencing, before hoarding is put up.
