Proposed Over Night Closure of St Vincent Street between Monifieth Road and Brook Street for Rail Bridge Maintenance

Dundee City Council propose to make an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for the purpose of facilitating rail bridge maintenance works.  The Order is expected to be in force for 3 weeks from 12 September 2015.  Its maximum duration in terms of the Act is eighteen months.

The effect of the Order is to prohibit temporarily all vehicular traffic in St Vincent Street between Monifieth Road and Brook Street.

Works will be carried out on a night shift and therefore the road will only be closed between 10 pm and 6 am.

An alternative route will be available via Brook Street, Gray Street and Queen Street.

Please forward any comments you may have regarding this proposal to Mark Cobb, Network Management Team, City Development Department, Dundee House, 50 North Lindsay Street, Dundee  DD1 1LS, no later than five working days prior to the commencement date.  If you have any queries please contact Mr Cobb on 01382 433082.

Queen Street (Fort Street to St Vincent Street) - Carriageway Resurfacing work

Work is programmed to commence at Queen Street (Fort Street to St Vincent Street) on Friday, 25 April 2014 and will last approximately 15 days.

The Contractor for the works is Tayside Contracts.

In the interest of public safety, road closures will be implemented between Fort Street and St Vincent Street.

The works will be carried out in three phases to minimise disruption to traffic.

Phase 1
Queen Street/Fort Street junction will be closed for 3 days from Friday 25 April to Sunday 27 April .

Phase 2
Queen Street from East of Fort Street junction to St Vincent Street will be closed for a further 5 days from Monday 28 April. Note, Fort Street junction will be open.

Phase 3
Queen Street from East of Fort Street junction to St Vincent Street will be closed for another 5 days from Tuesday 6 May, again the Fort Street junction will be open during this phase of the works.

It is proposed to have no road closures in place from Saturday 3 May to Monday 5 May.

During Phase 1 vehicular traffic will be diverted via Victoria Road, Ballinard Road, Balgillo Road, Forthill Road, Nursery Road, Abertay Street and reverse.

During Phases 2 and 3 vehicular traffic will be diverted via Fort Street, Nursery Road, Abertay Street and reverse.

Phase 2 and 3 closures will not be implemented until Phase 1 has been completed.

Please note that pedestrian thoroughfare will be maintained throughout the works.

If you have any queries regarding this matter, please contact Mr L Grubb, Senior Engineer, Road Maintenance by telephoning 01382 834126.

Long Awaited Upgrading of Kerbs and Pavements in Gray Street Starting Monday - 100 yards better but miles to go!

The long awaited next phase of upgrading the cracked and uneven pavements in central Broughty Ferry will begin on Monday 23 September 2013. The kerbs and pavements of both sides of Gray Street between King Street and Brook Street will be replaced this time.

Council Officers advise that, to minimise disruption, the work will proceed on one side of Gray Street at a time. While the work is going on, traffic in that section of Gray Street will be restricted to one way going south (Brook Street to King Street) with no traffic allowed to drive north (King Street to Brook Street). It is proposed to start work on the east footway, with the west footway to follow. 

They also advise that the work is programmed to last six weeks  and the contractor for the works is Tayside Contracts, assisted by Kilmac Construction. Apparently, if the pavement upgrading is incomplete by 8 November, it has been agreed with the Broughty Ferry Traders that work will stop then to allow unrestricted access to shops and businesses in the lead up to Christmas. Apparently, works not completed by 8 November will be undertaken in March 2014.

During the period when Gray Street is restricted to one way, drivers will be diverted via King Street/ St Vincent Street and Brook Street. In addition, parking will be suspended on one side of Gray Street for the duration of the works while pedestrian access will be maintained to both sides of of the street.

While this upgrading is to be welcomed, many constituents and businesses in Broughty Ferry have drawn my attention over the years to the poor state of the pavements in central Broughty Ferry which I have reported to the Council. To name but three stretches of pavement:

• Brook Street, between Fort Street and Westfield Road; 
• King Street between Gray Street and Westfield Road and 
• Brook Street between St Vincent's Street and Gray Street.

So this long overdue upgrade will be:
100 yards better but there are still miles to go!

Road Works to Close St Vincent Street

Dundee City Council propose to make an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for the purpose of facilitating drainage works adjacent to the railway bridge which crosses the north end of St Vincent Street. The Order is expected to be in force for two weeks from 15 March 2010. Its maximum duration in terms of the Act is eighteen months.

The effect of the Order is to prohibit all vehicular traffic in St Vincent Street in its north most section between Brook Street and Queen Street.

Access will be maintained for the affected residents of St Vincent Street.

An alternative route will be available for southbound traffic via Queen Street, Gray Street and Brook Street and for northbound traffic via Brook Street, Gray Street and Queen Street.
