Week 40 of 2023: Ongoing Development Projects in Progress
Market Square Underground Garage and Fairground Works Scheduled for October
There are two sets of works planned for the Market Square area in October. One involves the renewal of the parapet edge railing and spot concrete repair at the east exit of the underground garage, while the other concerns urgent surface and marking works on the fairground.
Starting from October 4, 2023, the railing renewal and spot concrete repair at the east exit of the Market Square underground garage will take place. This work is expected to last until approximately October 23, with one lane in each direction at the exit being closed during this period. The east exit will remain operational, but short-term closures may occur due to the nature of the work. Additionally, a spot concrete repair will be carried out on the wall head as part of the work.
It's important to note that these works are not related to the fairground closure. The fairground will be closed for a period of four days, from October 4 to October 7, 2023, due to the urgent surface and marking works. During this time, driving and parking on the fairground will not be possible.
Traffic restrictions, such as partial or full road closures near the fairground entrances and exits, and parking restrictions including temporary suspension of parking in work zones, can be expected. Local authorities will issue advance notices detailing affected streets, hours of restrictions, alternative parking areas, and recommended detours to ensure safety and work efficiency.
To get exact and up-to-date information for the specified dates, it is advised to:
- Check the official municipal or fairground website announcements closer to the work dates.
- Monitor local civic alert pages or traffic advisory portals.
- Contact the local transportation or public works department directly for advisories about planned surface and marking activities on the fairground.
If you have specific information about the fairground or city where these works are taking place, it may help in locating more precise information.
The works at the east exit of the Market Square underground garage are scheduled to be completed by October 7, 2023 (weather permitting). The works are subject to weather conditions, unlike the fairground works.
Stay informed and plan your travel accordingly to avoid any inconvenience caused by these works.
In October, renovations to the Market Square underground garage will be carried out, focusing on the renewal of the parapet edge railing and spot concrete repair at the east exit. Meanwhile, the finance sector may need to allocate resources to cover potential business disruptions caused by transportation restrictions and the fairground closure. During the fairground closure, urgent surface and marking works will be accomplished, barring any pedestrian or vehicular access to the fairground from October 4 to October 7.
