THE Rouge Bouillon works remain “on schedule”, according to the Infrastructure Department – with pedestrian access in place and the road set to reopen “at the earliest opportunity”.
The road has been partially closed since a burst water main caused a sinkhole in December.
This triggered a “highly complex” schedule of repairs after several adjacent structures were damaged, including a property on Clarendon Road.
In an update yesterday, the Infrastructure Department said that stabilisation work had progressed, meaning the site cordon can be reduced in size and pedestrians allowed through.
“Jersey Demolition Company is continuing to fill voids and underpin the property. This work is expected to finish by the end of the weekend,” the update continued.
“Starting next Tuesday, Jayen will then carry out further work on behalf of Jersey Water, filling voids in the southern part of Rouge Bouillon nearest the stabilised structure.”
The update added: “Scaffolding, erected alongside the building in the road to install the strapping, has now been removed, representing another key step towards the safe reopening of the road.
“The project remains on schedule, with the road set to reopen at the earliest opportunity, once all safety measures are complete.”
A further update is expected next week.
