SALFORD CRESCENT STATION CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT are to take place at Salford Crescent Station over the Easter weekend to remove the existing stepped ramp which currently provides the only access to the platform. In its place will be the new concrete bridge above University Road and a new steel footbridge across to the end of the platform. The new entrance will be from the A6 Windsor Bridge. The railway will be closed for 50 hours to enable this work to take place, from 00.01hrs on Saturday 30th March to 04.00hrs Monday 1st April. Most of the work will be undertaken by simply lifting-out the sections of ramp with a large crane. However, the last lower section has to be broken-down to below ground level, an operation which will generate some noise. Acoustic screens will be placed around the area to reduce this noise as much as possible. We apologize for this inconvenience, but trust you will understand that some noise is inevitable and that we have done as much as possible to reduce this. Yours faithfully On behalf of Buckingham Group Trevor D Canner Project Manager Tel: 07974 002738
