Undercliff Drive stabilisation works

Huge Undercliff Drive engineering works revealed

The previously unseen major engineering works taking place on Undercliff Drive have now been exposed after the recent landslip.

Previously restricted to only those working on the site, the roadway had to be opened as a single carriageway after the section of road west of the traffic lights became restricted.

Mitigating potential further landslides
Island Roads, through their sub-contractor, John Peck, are in the midst of a huge engineering project that they hope will mitigate against further potential landslides along Undercliff Drive in St Lawrence.

As can be seen from the photos, a substantial concrete wall runs down the road.

Drilling is taking place, at an angle under the road, to pin it in further.
