Development description
A new bridge crossing of the canal will be constructed to the east of the current park road bridge. This new bridge will connect lower park road with park road, facilitating two-way traffic flow. Vehicle traffic on south canal road will change from the current one-way system to a two-way system with the carriageway being widened accordingly. The existing park road bridge will be retained as a pedestrian and cycle facility and the existing traffic lights at this location will be removed. In addition to the above, the works will also include an upgrade of the junction underneath the northern span of the adjacent rail bridge to the east of park road bridge which currently has poor sightlines and widths for road users. The proposed works also include for new road surfacing and the installation of led public lighting as well as surface water drainage. Accommodation works will be undertaken as required
