Following preparatory works, work to modify the large Maid Marian Way roundabout in Nottingham will begin on Tuesday 7 May.
Nottingham City Council has secured external funding for this project which will improve pedestrian and cycling connectivity within the city center by changing road layouts to make it safer for everyone, as well as providing green space additional on an important gateway to the city.
This project is being carried out thanks to a grant obtained from central government under the Future High Street Fund programme.
Council anticipates some traffic disruptions throughout this project and apologizes for this inconvenience.
For the first phase of works from May 7, the following traffic management arrangements will be in place 24 hours a day, seven days a week:
The interior traffic lane of the roundabout will be reduced
Offside approach routes will be closed
Maid Marian Way southbound offside lane will be closed
-There are no changes to bus routes or bus stop arrangements during this phase.
Pedestrian crossings at the roundabout will remain operational
The Mount Street crosswalk (west side) will be affected, with pedestrians required to use alternative crossings
A construction complex will be installed on the Wellington Circus. To maintain vehicle access around North Circus Street, Wellington Circus Street and East Circus Street, some parking spaces will be temporarily suspended.
The roundabout will remain in use for traffic until the end of summer, when it will be closed to allow its complete removal and construction of the new intersection. Information and updates on diversions will be shared in advance to make travel in the area as easy as possible during construction.
Nottingham City Council’s Portfolio Holder for Highways, Transport and Planning, Councilor Angela Kandola, said:
“Thank you for your support during this huge project. Our team will do everything possible to ensure the work is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible, while prioritizing the safety of residents, commuters and workers. »
