FOOTWAY IMPROVEMENT WORKS - Cambridgeshire

Project Overview

Client: M Group
Sector: Highways
Location: Over Road, Willingham
Duration: 4 weeks (completed ahead of schedule)

The Project

Installation of a new 80m long footway including a new stormwater drainage run with gullies.

Improvements to the Over Road footway were undertaken, on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council, focusing on capital maintenance, drainage and pedestrian links.

PGR Construction’s scope of works included:

  • New concrete bagwork to help retain the footway
  • Full height kerbing
  • Dropped crossing points
  • Drainage run with gullies

The M Group appointed PGR Construction as a result of our proven expertise in civils works and our competitive pricing structure. We have also enjoyed working successfully together on previous, similar projects.

Safe and efficient working 

As this work was completed on a busy road and pedestrian footway, works were completed to ensure that local residents and businesses suffered minimal disruption and were always a major consideration throughout the project.

What the Client Said

“I’d like to extend my thanks to you all for the works completed on Over Road, Willingham. The final inspection undertaken today identified no defects, which is an excellent outcome. It’s also very positive to see the scheme delivered ahead of programme and already in use during our recent visit.”

Other positive feedback

“After a few weeks of road closures and years of waiting…the new footpath to Highgate is finally complete.  Getting to Willingham Gym and all the businesses on Highgate Farm is now so much easier, safer, and more accessible for everyone. This is a massive improvement for the community and little changes like this make a big difference.”
