From the BEO:

Dear Residents

Thames Water are undertaking emergency works tonight in the Beech Street Tunnel.  Traffic Management will be closing the tunnel Eastbound from 19.00 and Agility on behalf of Thames Water will be undertaking emergency excavation to locate and repair two burst water mains.   This will involve breaking out of the carriageway.   It is inevitable that the noise from this work will cause disturbance to nearby residents.  Noisy hours expected to be 19.00 (14.12.2015) until 02.00 (15.12.2015). Noisy hours thereafter to be constrained to 08.00 – 18.00.  However Thames Water  are aware that it is a residential area and will complete the noisy works as quickly as possible.

Thames Water have insisted that leaving the bursts until the next day will increase the risk of the problem becoming worse and resulting in loss of supply to residents and businesses in the area.  It is on that advice that the out of hours works have been agreed.

Apologies for the short notification, but this is because of the emergency nature of the works. 

With regards

Barbican Estate Office
