Note from the county council

The man hole cover and frame has collapsed further in the centre of the junction of Alma Road and Victoria Street in St Albans, causing a safety hazard. It has been temporarily barriered only.

The works team will be repairing this under temporary lights (turning off the permanent signals), tomorrow (fri) from 9.30am. The temporary lights will be place for 24 hours to allow the cement based materials used in the reinstatement to cure.

Whilst on site I have asked the works team to repair the subsidence on the Iceland side of the junction also as this will be within the works zone.
