The Icon Underpass is lit again...
September 2026
The Icon underpass is lit again…
-
When the original Icon building was demolished in 2021, the lights were switched off.
-
Since then there has been lengthy uncertainty about ownership of the underpass structure and lighting which was eventually resolved earlier this year.
-
HCC installed light fittings in July and they are now switched on!
Read more about the long campaign to get the lights installed here.
There is also more good news from Hill about brightening the underpass up….
They have told us:
We are continuing to work with both Councils to explore how we can make the underpass a brighter and more welcoming space for residents, pedestrians and cyclists using the route.
As part of this, we are looking to deliver an art project in the underpass in spring/summer 2027, ahead of our works completing on site.
