Jack Straw's Stanmer Roadworks Watch 8/12/09

[Jack Straw]

The link-road works to service the stadium are going well.
It looks like they've started to build the support(s) to hold the fly-over.
Not as exciting as the stadium photos, but just as important never the less?

Marvellous scenes JS. You are a legend.

 

[Scoffers]

thanks, that last pic helps me figure out exactly where this is happening!

Has anyone got a link to the drawings for how this will look when completed?

Here is a plan of the new junction, with new access roads into the Uni and parking at Falmer School:

Just out of interest, when are they putting the Arch over the stadium stand on the main site? JS do you know? ?

Looking on the webcam it looks like things are starting to happen and a crane is in position to support one of the supports, if that makes sense.

Great pictures, however am I the only person who doesn't understand the drawings!?

 

[Man of Harveys]

Nice pics as ever JS.

So once it's all done, if you're driving from central Brighton along the Lewes Road to park at the stadium, where will you turn off?

 

[The Large One]

You can turn into Sussex University via Stanmer Park - a road going round the back of the Sports Hall (see drawing in Smart Mart's post).

Or you can turn right, go under the tunnel (see first pic) and park on Falmer School fields.

How I understand it is that you drive in to the widened current road in to Stanmer Park, where on match days there is one way system further on towards the Uni.
After the match, the flow is reversed, and to go back to Brighton, you would be able to turn right (unlike you do now).
Parking at the stadium itself is a whole different ball game where you would zoom down the fly-over if going to Brighton.
I'm still a bit confused myself, but I believe that this is roughly what happens.

 

[The Oldman]

How does it work if you are driving from Lewes?

Forget it. I can see a slip road off the A270 southbound.

Anything to do with the overall infrastructure of the stadium is important, and we all appreciate these updates JS. Keep them coming mate and im looking forward to Fridays update already.

I thought the whole idea is that no-one drove to the ground ( apart from martin perry of course)

You don't. You drive to the car park.

That's not as facetious as it sounds. Only club suits, large coaches and the No.25 bus stop at the ground.

I'm going on a spacehopper.

What's going to happen to the house in the 1st and 3rd picture, is anyone living there as the hedge looks like it's been cut recently?

Would make a great little pub, with a nice garden!

On that diagram is it the little building at the bottom, showing the gardens boundary?
