Latest Update - 4 April 2025
Phase 3 Initiation Works
Phase 3 Initiation Works commenced on Monday 03-Mar-2025 and switched to the inbound side following completion of trial holes on the western outbound verge of Birmingham Road from the veterinary surgery to St Peters Way. The inbound lane is closed with the inbound traffic using the middle lane on Birmingham Road to access St Peters Way traffic signals. The works are progressing well and include widening the footway to 3m, resurfacing and installation of new drainage.
Phase 3 Main Works
Due to the good progress being made on the Phase 3 Initiation Works we are to bring forward the Phase 3 main works on the inbound footway of the A3400 Birmingham Road by extending the traffic management from Monday 7th April 2025 from The Avenue to Joseph’s Way. Two way traffic will be maintained and accesses to adjacent properties will be unrestricted.
These works widening of existing footways to form new in and out bound shared use cycleway/footway facilities, installation of new drainage infrastructure. In addition to improved street lighting and resurfacing of the footway.
The General Arrangement drawings of the new Phase 3 road layout are available to view at the following link.
Completed - Phases 1 and 2
Phase 1, from Windsor Street to Arden Street was completed in January 2022.
Phase 2, from Bishopton Roundabout to The Avenue, was completed in February 2025. Both schemes bring a significant improvement to drainage in the area as well as making road crossings easier. Improved and new shared-use cycleways and footways have been created to allow quicker access to local facilities, including to the bus and rail park and ride.
