Construction Site at 24, 26 and 28 Foster’s Avenue – May update
The contractor on site has advised MMRA online (and local residents by letter drop) of their progress and proposed progress on Block C at the above site.
Their remaining major concrete pours are:
11/06/25 – 2nd Floor Block C
11/07/25 – 3rd Floor Block C
06/08/25 – Roof Block C
To date some of their major concrete pours have been completed on the one long day (as permitted by DLRCC), but a recent major pour required 2 days which reduced the impact of a single long day. Each remaining concrete pour is scheduled for a single long day but may have to change if circumstances require.
The Contractor intends to continue to update MMRA in respect of the above concrete pours and any other work items that may impact on local residents.
