Crossrail Farringdon - Road and lane closures - March – July 2016 Thank you for your patience whilst we continue building the new Crossrail Farringdon station. We apologise for any disruption you may have experienced. We have now reached the stage whereby we can now remove the ground movement monitoring equipment located by 90 Cowcross Street which will necessitate night time closures to through traffic between 23 to 27 March.
Duration of work • Cowcross Street night-time closures • 23 – 27 March 2016 • Charterhouse Street road closure (between Lindsey Street and Charterhouse Square)
• 1 – 3 April 2016 for crane movements/steel lifting Cowcross Street
Nighttime closure 23-27 March
Closure of Charterhouse Street between Lindsey Street and Charterhouse Square 1 – 3 April

Due to space constraints on site, a large crane will be located in the carriageway adjacent to the Eastern Ticket Hall site in order to lift structural steel into site. Access to Charterhouse Square will be via Aldersgate and Carthusian Street whilst the closure is in place. Local access will be maintained at all times and diversions will be in place.
