Widened path on Coldham's Common south nearly ready to be 'prepped for tarmac' according to timetable board at the other end. Both of these gates open in the same direction: not immediately obvious why two were needed.
Scaffolding gone, backfilling started, still work to do on utilities. Impossible to tell whether the water main was reinstated below this lot, but the pipe meant to reinstate the gas main has clearly not been used. Wonder if this all has ... [more]
Scaffolding supports gone, backfilling started, but still some work to do for proper reinstatement of utilities.
The usual forest of posts to negotiate on the central island, plus an interesting traffic light repeater
Pedestrians-only footway is seriously narrow on this corner - in stark contrast to the one diagonally opposite
I think this is where southbound cyclists leave can leave the carriageway to join shared-use path, just as it becomes too narrow.
In the foreground is the eastbound pedestrian crossing, and just beyond it an unmarked dropped kerb. Beyond that on the left, a sign instructing cyclists that they should have used the dropped kerb to make a hazardous exit from shared-use ... [more]
Crossing to head south seems at first glance to head for the opposing carriageway - stagger in central island not easy to see while work continues This, and all others, officially for pedestrians only.
Reasonably generous space shared between cycles and pedestrians, the latter potentially waiting to cross
'Robin Hood junction' works. Cycles heading east get a tolerable exit from shared-use path onto carriageway
Power cable moved, hole prepared for additional cattle grid at Chisholm Trail railway underpass on Coldham's Common
Two cattle grids and space for gate alongside, and finished surface from there most of the way to the existing path. Zoom lens makes the turn beyond the grids look tighter than it is.
Progress on north side wing walls at Chisholm Trail underpass, and maybe ready for the precast parapet between them
Large-diameter pipes alongside Chisholm Trail bridge ramp are already covered, leaving no clues about what they are for
Smart brickwork where Chisholm Trail will cross the brook. Seems to be single-skin, so cosmetic rather than structural for bridge/culvert abutment?
Two cattle grids nearly ready where Chisholm Trail will cross from Coldham's Common to the cafe/underpass site
Ground cut away either side, but existing path apparently untouched, in Chisholm Trail works on Coldham's Common
Two large-diameter pipes are being installed alongside the Chisholm Trail bridge ramp on Ditton Meadows
'Portable roadway' being installed alongside path on Coldham's Common. Not clear yet whether it's a bypass for path users while Chisholm Trail improvements are in progress, or for use by contractors' machinery.
Blocks stacked, and rain cover (?) at site of work for Chisholm Trail bridge or culvert between Coldham's Common and the cafe site
Heras site fencing being erected on each side of the path on Coldham's Common for Chisholm Trail work
Heras site fencing being erected on each side of the path on Coldham's Common for Chisholm Trail work
Additional obstruction at cattle grid adjacent to ncn51 on Ditton Meadows. Fixed at oblique angle, so reasonably benign in one direction but potentially hostile in the other direction.
Evidence at last of progress on the missing link in the south ramp for the Chisholm Trail river bridge.
Gate and railing at cattle grid on Stourbridge Common leave ncn51 with a clear width of just 1.15m. The adjacent gate when open leaves just 1.0m.
One (of previously two) cattle grids has at some time been removed where ncn51 crosses Coldham's Brook on Stourbridge Common.
ncn51 on Stourbridge Common is rendered just 1.3m wide by greenery, and the other side is crumbling.
Still work to do on the ramp south of the Chisholm Trail bridge, where conditions were tricky on the old alignment of the brook.
Cattle grid (in box at left) on ncn51 will be very close to the new culvert beside the Chisholm Trail bridge
Curved sections of shuttering being prepared for the cap to the wing walls at the Chisholm Trail underpass
The cap that ties Chisholm Trail underpass wing sections together seems to be going to be quite a complex shape - presumably to align with the stone facing below it.

Lots more rebar now in place along the top of the southwest wing wall at the Chisholm Trail underpass
Lots more rebar now in place along the top of the southeast wing wall at the Chisholm Trail underpass
Thought to be where culvert sections have been installed for the realigned brook near the south end of the Chisholm Trail bridge ramp

Refreshing - and judging by the marker posts widening - ncn51 east of the Chisholm Trail bridge and working on the gap between this path and the new culvert
Modal filter, Great Kneighton/Clay Farm (this is shown on OpenCycleMap as a footpath, while the others are clearly cycleways)
Next layer of subsurface is being laid on link path between NCN51 and Chisholm Trail at south edge of Ditton Meadow
It looks like the culvert will work well to interface with the existing path beside the river, and with the turn towards the bridge ramp
