Maintenance works on Coates Road
April 21st, 2017
From L2 (number 39 on the campus map) westward, Coates Road on University Park will be closed until Friday 5 May while the public space around the west side of Coates Building is improved.
The improvements include creating an accessible path from the rear of L4 (number 30 on the campus map) through to Pope Building, narrowing the road width adjacent to L4 to incease the pavement capacity, removing the dwarf walls and improving the clarity of the vehicular route onto campus between L3 (number 31 on the campus map) and L4.
Estates are taking the opportunity to renew the ageing water main infrastructure along the length of Coates Road.
There will still be access to all of the parking areas between the L buildings, but there will be no thoroughfare for vehicles between L3 and the Coates Building during this period. Staff should therefore be advised to use an alternative entrace to access University Park buildings.

Has the one way system by the Ningbo friendship bridge been suspended due to the road closures? there seems to be a lot of vehicle including Estates’ that are traveling the wrong way according to the road markings and signage…

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your query.
The one-way system is absolutely still in place.
Regards,

Traffic is travelling the wrong way all day everyday I’m afraid. A check on the camera system will show this for definite.

Quite possibly because when you turn left into UP off the ring road (just past the bridge) the only option is to turn left again past L1, which takes you to the one-way part of Science Road and then back to the ring road again. Presumably people are ignoring the one way system and turning right onto Science Road by Pharmacy.

Are any of the bike sheds going to be shut during this time, and if so, when?

Hi Louise,
Thanks for your question.
Access to the bike sheds has been maintained, with the exception of isolated stands outside of the card-accessessed structures. There are no anticipated closures.
Thanks,
Ryan

Yes that is correct. People are ignoring the one way system signs altogether. As a senior security officer I have reported this problem a week ago but was assured by estates that this would not happen. A simple set of traffic lights would solve this problem until the work is completed.
People are going all the way from Boots Pharmacy all the way to South Gate. This is an accident waiting to happen as I have already reported.

I am not sure which buildings are L2, L3 and L4 and can’t see this on the campus plan.
