Works to continue the ‘Multi User Route’ between Saundersfoot rail station and the seaside village have recommenced.
County councillor Chris Williams stated that the contractor is currently constructing the ramped link between the lower section of the Incline and Incline Way, alongside the ground preparation for the MUR construction between the ramp and Westfield Court.
“Pembrokeshire County Council gained the necessary Cadw approvals and ensured a watching brief was undertaken regarding archaeological concerns during the activity. The formation and surface to this section is programmed for completion mid-April,” stated Cllr Williams.
“The highway section to the junction of Westfield Court will then follow, with MUR uncontrolled crossing positions formed and signage to guide users to specific destinations. Surface repair to Brooklands Place has been completed, the final stone dressed layer to be installed in May – again, this will require the contractor to limit access whilst the operation is being completed and PCC apologise for any disruption.
“This final stone layer being applied to the majority sections of the PRoW sections (different coloured aggregate to the off-road sections),” he continued.
Other currently programmed construction works include - a minor realignment to the junction access to Incline Way and Bonville’s Close, this being to improve Multi User Route facilities and junction manoeuvrability for highway traffic; Minor improvements to the verge to Fan Road Station Road junction, aimed to reduce vegetation grow within the visibility splay for the junction.
A traffic calming proposal at the road under rail bridge on Station Road near to the rail station access will be advanced to construction in the new financial year once designs are checked and civil works procured.
PCC are looking to advance initial feasibility review to consider the highway connectivity for traffic and pedestrians along The Ridgeway, whilst continuing to advance other Active Travel corridors following public consultations.
