Installation of Crowd Control Barriers - Margaret Keay Road, Margaret Keay Way & University Road - 6th March 2026.

Posted: 4 March 2026

Description of the Works

WHY DOES THE WORK NEEED TO BE DONE

E&FM will shortly be installing a series of pedestrian barriers at several locations on campus, including:

  • Along the pedestrian routes on Margaret Keay Road (between Bridgeman and the Edward Herbert Building)
  • Along a section of University Road, from the Student Accommodation Centre down the hill towards the Herbert Manzoni Building
  • At selected points on Margaret Keay Way

These barriers are being introduced to help guide pedestrians towards the designated safe crossing points located at the crossroads where University Road meets Margaret Keay Road and Margaret Keay Way.

This work forms an important part of the traffic management plan associated with the construction of the new student accommodation development. By funnelling foot traffic to controlled crossing points, the measures aim to improve safety for pedestrians and reduce conflict with construction and campus vehicle movements during the project period.

Timescale 

The install will be taking place on Friday 6th March 2026 between 8am and midday.
