The exit of St Peters Way Car Park onto Woolmonger Street will also be temporarily closed while the work is carried out to ease congestion. Car park users will be able to exit the car park via Foundry Street.

Businesses will be open as usual and this current phase of the project is expected to be complete by Friday evening (March 10).
