I got a bit more information today that came from the council:
Quote:
The Traffic Order will take effect on 5th November and will permit F.M.Conway to close off the subway whilst they resurface the floor and erect the cladding panels to the ceiling and walls.
Conways have informed us that they will need 2 days in which to resurface the floor of the subway and one and a half weeks in which to complete the cladding. Therefore the subway is likely to be closed, in total, for no more than 2 weeks.
We will of course give advance notice to members of the public, of the days when the subway will actually be closed, when work begins on site.
So the subway is unlikely to be closed on 5th November, and we should hear more before it shuts for a few weeks (we all know that 2 weeks means at least a month), but not for the next six months.
