Work on phase two from Westmead roundabout to Withymead roundabout is continuing: 

• Work to replace the safety barrier on the bridge, and waterproofing under the new lane has started.
• The utility companies have begun their careful work to move the utilities under the new northbound lane. This needs to be done in a sequenced approach as a number of pipes and cables are currently stacked on top of each other.
• The contractor is continuing to build the new northbound lane from Westmead roundabout to the Withymead roundabout with new kerbs starting to be laid.
• The extensive drainage work to connect phase two to phase one (from Meads roundabout to Westmead roundabout) and the stream running through the subway is continuing, with the footpath that was previously removed, beginning to be reinstated.

Construction work for phase two began in March 2021. 

Our revised programme shows a completion date of late summer, which takes us into September, and we are still aiming to fully reopen Mead Way by then.
