£3million reconstruction of Hampden Way, N14
Barnet Council and contractors Tarmac Kier Joint Venture (TKJV), have completed the £3million reconstruction of Hampden Way, N14. The 10-month project was completed both on time and to budget.
The upgrade of the major thoroughfare saw the road reconstructed from Hampden Square to Summit Way. The project included relaying 4,283m2 of road, installing a new drainage system and new road safety measures. Workers removed 3,240 tonnes of waste material from the site with 80% sent for recycling.
Cllr Alan Schneiderman, Barnet Council Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, said: “At £3 million, the reconstruction of Hampden Way is the biggest investment in a single road by Barnet Council, and part of our £97m programme to fix roads and pavements across Barnet.
“We would like to thank all residents and businesses in the area for their patience and cooperation throughout the project. Their cooperation helped us to deliver the project on time and to budget.”
Throughout the project, which started in July 2024, the council and TKJV have worked with the local community, including residents, businesses, Hampden Way Nursery, Oak Hill School, and Middlesex University.
TKJV helped local businesses by issuing them with signage that advised that they were still open while the road was being reconstructed. They also assisted in ensuring all local businesses were able to receive and make deliveries throughout the project.
Students from Oak Hill School and Middlesex University visited the site, enabling them to learn about the construction process and ask questions. Barnet Council Highways engineers also visited as part of the council’s skill-building plan, aimed at preparing the team for future projects.
Residents are now invited to give their feedback, which will help the council to make improvements for future similar projects throughout Barnet.
