We are updating a storm overflow and associated pipework.

There is a history of localised flooding during extreme weather. The overflow will safely divert excess storm water protecting homes and businesses.

The project is part of our £500million Improving Urban Waters investment programme.

Update September 2025

To continue the work to upgrade a storm overflow and associated pipework, Bridgend (at the bottom of Springwell Place) has been reduced to one lane under temporary traffic lights until November.

The monoblocked car parking spaces will remain closed off for the duration to allow access to the working area. Pedestrians are still able to walk through the works but we ask them to follow all signs.

We are doing all that we can to minimise any disruption and would like to thank everyone affected for their patience and understanding while we deliver this important project.

Work on the new storm overflow in Bridgend is going well and we have reached the point where we are ready to install the new concrete chamber.

This will require the use of a large crane which will necessitate a full road closure during working hours for approximately two days.

Work will begin on Thursday 18 September 2025 and while access to private residents parking on Bridgend will be maintained, we will need to restrict access between 9am to 9.45am and 12pm to 12.45pm. This is to allow the concrete chamber to be delivered.

Footpaths will remain open and everything will be done to minimise disruption while keeping members of the public and our team safe.
