What we're doing, when the work will start.
Where we're doing the work
We're delivering a scheme at:
- Park Row
- Perry Road
- Upper Maudlin Street
- Colston Street
What we're doing
Improvements include:
- upgrading cycle lanes and other cycle infrastructure
- upgrading crossings and other pedestrian infrastructure
- upgrading traffic signals
- creating loading and disabled bays
The work will:
- make it easier and safer to walk and cycle
- manage traffic flow and reduce pollution
- encourage more sustainable travel in the area
We made the following changes to the scheme, based on feedback during the community engagement:
- installing no entry signage at Lower Church Lane
- new loading bays on Perry Road and Upper Maudlin Street
- removing 2 bus stops on Park Row and Perry Road, as services have been discontinued
- simplifying cycle infrastructure at Woodland Road
- installing more resilient cycle lane bollards

These dates are indicative and could change. This might be as a result of bad weather or unforeseen ground conditions. We will update this page as the works progress.
Some works, particularly those being carried out by third parties, could be carried out in isolation. The road resurfacing programme is yet to be confirmed.
Impact of works
Two-way traffic will be maintained as much as possible throughout the works, but one-way single lane traffic will be required during some off-peak periods.
Diversions will be put in place when road closures are required.
