Investigation works on Chanterlands Avenue culvert 

Hull City Council to conduct trial hole investigation on an underground culvert on Chanterlands Avenue. 

The council will begin conducting a trial hole investigation on the underground culvert today (Tuesday 18 March). The structure is located under the footpath, opposite the entrance to Rainhill Road. 

The culvert is an old asset, which is currently out of service. This investigation aims to verify its presence and assess its condition. This routine maintenance is essential for managing our city’s infrastructure and planning future projects.  

To ensure these works are carried out safely and with minimal disruption to traffic, the road will be narrowed for drivers and cyclists from 9.30am today to 3.30pm on Wednesday 26 March.  

Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the duration of the works. 

The trial hole, highlighted in green, will be located on the footpath opposite the entrance to Rainhill Road. 

Gillian Osgerby, interim assistant director for major projects and infrastructure at Hull City Council, said: “We understand that this is a popular route for road users, but it is crucial that these assessments are conducted.  

“While I recognise the inconvenience caused by these works, we have made significant efforts to minimise the impact on traffic flow  

“I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone in advance for their patience and support.” 

The investigations will be carried out by PBS Construction on behalf of the council.
