The third stage of road safety improvements will start on Monday 5 July, following consultation with local residents.
The Stage 3 works at the junction of The Loaning and Ladywell Road will include:
- installation of traffic signals with pedestrian crossing facilities on all four approaches
- improved street lighting
- relocation of the southbound bus stop, including a new bus shelter and widened footway
- road and footway resurfacing
- new waiting/loading restrictions to ensure the safe and effective operation of the junction.
The work, which is being carried out by the council, is expected to be complete by Monday 30 August.
Traffic on The Loaning and neighbouring streets will be managed throughout by temporary traffic lights and a short road closure. Every effort will be made to minimise disruption to local residents while we undertake these important works.
The Stage 3 works follow on from the successful implementation of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 road safety improvements on The Loaning, and represents another key step towards the delivery of a safer environment for pedestrians and other road users.
