Another Transforming Cities Funded project has been completed, with improvements to Queens Drive and Meadows Way now complete.
The changes, which make the two side by side roads easier for cyclists and pedestrians to cross safely, include a new staggered toucan crossing on Queens Drive and a zebra crossing on Meadows Way.
Our project to improve safety at Victoria Bus Station as part of the Bus Service Improvement Plan, means that the bus station will be completely closed from Monday 24 March – Sunday 30 March, re-opening Monday morning 31 March.
During this time, resurfacing will take place on York Street, Union Road and all ten bus bays. The pedestrian walkway through the bus station will be open as usual until midnight nightly.
The car park is unaffected during the daytime but the York Street access entrance and Union Road exit will be closed between 8pm and 6am starting Monday evening.
Please check with your operator for alternative stops to use to catch your bus while the bus station is closed.
Nottingham City Council has won £2.4m in a second round of funding to improve road safety in Nottingham.
The Safer Roads Fund is a national programme aimed at improving road safety for users and improving reliability of the road network. Schemes are selected by the Department for Transport based on data identifying these routes as having major road safety concerns.
Nottingham City Council was previously awarded £1.425million from Tranche 1 of this fund to carry out improvements to the A609 Ilkeston Road and A6130 Gregory, Radford and Lenton Boulevards. These projects are now at the detailed design phase, with work beginning later this year following consultation.
The roads which Nottingham City Council have successfully secured funding for via Tranche 2 are the A60 Mansfield Road and A6200 Derby Road – busy A-roads that pass through our city centre, they are both considered high-risk for drivers, passengers and cyclists. The aim of the changes is to reduce the number and severity of accidents.
We will share detailed plans and ask for your thoughts on them later this year so watch this space.
