Working with residents and businesses through construction
We understand that construction work is disruptive and can affect how you go about your daily lives or run your business.
Managing construction
We will carry out a competitive tender process to appoint a contractor for the work.
Work is scheduled to start later this year, and we will update you with full details once the contractor has been appointed.
You will be able to meet the contractor ahead of any work starting on site to discuss the programme, phasing and access during the construction period.
Working with you to reduce disruption
Unfortunately, some disruption and noise is inevitable, but we will work with you to reduce impact as much as possible. We have plans to keep this to a minimum, and we are co-ordinating our work with other ongoing and scheduled works in your area.
Safety is our priority
During construction, traffic management measures will be installed and maintained to make sure the works can be carried out safely for everyone, including residents, businesses and our workforce.
Parking and loading
Some parking and loading bays will be suspended to allow for traffic management and safe access to the site. Temporary loading/unloading areas will be set up for deliveries. Exact dates and information about parking restrictions will be displayed on yellow signs before work begins.
Access
We want to make sure that access to your business or property is maintained and will work with you throughout construction.
Disabled access during works can be challenging, and you will be able to speak to the contractor on site with any specific requests. For example, if you know you have an appointment with someone who may need special assistance, we will do everything we can to support this.
Keeping in touch
Alongside regular meetings with local stakeholders and the Queensferry Business Collective, we will keep you up to date on the project.
We also have information to help you plan ahead and run your business during construction.
