Wheat Street/Vicarage Street Junction
The proposal is to upgrade the existing three arm signalised junction at Wheat Street and Vicarage Street to a four arm signalised junction, by opening up Wheat Street to the west of this junction. The fourth arm is to be one way for vehicles travelling onto the ring road.
Justice Walk will remain one way for vehicles, with a contra-flow cycle lane being installed alongside it. This area is to be improved as part of the Transforming Nuneaton programme. Bond Gate will become two way and will eventually form a link to the new Leicester Road Gyratory scheme.
New toucan crossings are to be installed to assist pedestrians and cyclists’ movements across the improved junction.
The existing segregated cycle route along the inside of the ring road will be improved to allow cyclists to move more easily through the area.
In order to facilitate the main works, there will be some changes to the junction at Bond Street, Back Street and Newtown Road, which will help to ease traffic movements through the area and provide a temporary link prior to the new Leicester Road Gyratory being installed.
