St Mary’s Way underpass in Chesham reopens after long-term closure
Buckinghamshire Council has confirmed that the St Mary’s Way underpass in Chesham has fully reopened, following extensive investigation, repair and cleaning works to resolve long-standing flooding issues.
The underpass had been closed for a prolonged period due to persistent standing water, caused by complex drainage problems that required detailed investigation before a permanent solution could be put in place.
Specialist drainage contractors were brought in to empty standing water, install improvements to prevent future flooding, and carry out a deep clean of the site. Final repairs, including handrails, were completed before the underpass was safely reopened for public use.
