Traffic Restrictions Brown Street, (Brook Street to King Street) for Road Resurfacing Work September 2015

The City Council has recently notified householders and businesses in Brown Street, Broughty Ferry (Brook Street to King Street) that their street will be closed for Carriageway Resurfacing Work from Saturday 26 September 2015 and will last for approximately 2 weeks. 

The Contractor for the works is Tayside Contracts. 

In the interest of public safety, a road closure will be implemented and through traffic will be diverted via Brook Street, Fort Street, King Street and reverse. 

On-street parking will not be allowed on the section of carriageway being worked on. Vehicular access to properties with driveways and off street parking areas will be maintained although they ask for vehicular traffic movements to be kept to a minimum and advise that delays may be experienced. 

I am advised that weekend working should minimise any restrictions on access to and from the Brown Street Health Centre car park Monday to Fridays during the contract period.

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

If you have any queries regarding this matter please contact Les Grubb, Road Maintenance Partnership, by telephoning 01382 434000.

Rhinopatch Filling Ferry Potholes

Tayside Contracts were in Broughty Ferry today filling in potholes. The picture shows work people using a Rhinopatch machine in Douglas Terrace.

This is a proprietary infra-red road repair process. It is a permanent and sustainable process that can be used for all types of surface repairs up to 100mm depth including joint failures, trench reinstatements, pavement defects, around ironwork and potholes.

The four stage process heats the existing surface with an infrared heater (the square metal box in the picture) before a rejuvenating ingredient is added to the surface. If required, additional material is then added to the area before it is compacted and preservative applied.

This cost effective technology also minimises disruption to the road user and as no jackhammers are used it is safer for operatives and relatively quiet for off peak working.
