Delays to A63 Castle Street upgrade scheme
Case reference FOI2025/00086
Received 16 January 2025
Published 14 March 2025
Request
Requesting information on ground data around delays to A63 works including dates that show when NH became aware of the issues. Both data for pre start phase and current data requested to compare finding.
Clarification 17/01/2025:
In relation to the scheme National Highways is currently undertaking on the A63 castle street underpass, the FOI request is in relation to the scheme being delayed by 1 year.
As I understand by the progress update provided by NH "we have encountered some extremely challenging ground conditions the could not have been anticipated before the scheme began" the information I'm requesting are ground data / radar information, any ground condition surveys NH carried out whilst in planning stages of choosing the location for the underpass and the details that NH now claim to be aware of at its current stage.
Also programming schedules and plans for the scheme when it started and the revised version due to the delays.
