Work will get underway in the next few weeks on a scheme to improve the A23 (London Road / Preston Road) between Argyle Road and Preston Drove.
The changes are designed to improve a key transport corridor for the city and make it a safer and more attractive environment for all who use it.
The work getting underway shortly will include:
new cycle lanes
pavement widening
new and upgraded crossings
improved junctions
bus stop improvements
The work is expected to take 18 months to complete. Everything possible will be done to minimise disruption throughout. During that time the area on the old bowling green opposite WhoopseyDaisy, will used as a base for all the heavy plant machinery.
