The project will have no impact on nearby roads, which will remain open to traffic throughout the works.

The work will be carried out in multiple stages. Detours for pedestrians and cyclists will be set up at each stage. The park and the Pavillon restaurant will remain open to the public through the redevelopment works. None of the park's main entrances will be closed during the works.

The paths and detours for pedestrians and cyclists may be adapted as the works progress. Appropriate signage will be put in place to guide park users and ensure their safety.
