Ryebridge keep things moving for road users in St Albans

A team from Ryebridge Construction completed work on a major drainage project five days earlier than expected - ensuring minimum disruption for residents, businesses and other road users.

The project, at Ridgeview Lodge in Barnet Road, London Colney, involved the excavation and installation of a new storm drain, with the road expected to be closed until Sunday.

But the determination and resourcefulness of the Ryebridge team resulted in all work finished well ahead of schedule.

Project manager Don Wall said: “Ryebridge Construction have successfully opened Barnet Road to the public this morning after a tremendous push on site to install the storm drain through a forest of services with great success.

“The road closure was until Sunday August 17, so to open the main road five days early to appease the public and remove the diversion will only benefit the council and local businesses.”

Managing director Sean Scully added: “Highway construction works are always challenging and timeframes can be difficult to achieve. We pride ourselves on accurate programming and delivery.

“Paramount importance is always safety with no exceptions however we are aware of the impact on surrounding areas and take every measure to complete on time. We had engaged with local businesses and residents and got a huge sense of frustration about these essential works and the closure so to be out early is great for everyone.”
