Phase 2
Construction works for Phase 2 is
planned to be split into two phases.
Initially Phase 2a will include the
widening of the road at Cowstead
Corner Roundabout, the construction
of the new footway/cycleway between
Cowstead Corner and Barton Hill Drive
and installation of associated surface
water drainage.
Should further funding become
available the intention is to construct
Phase 2b which will widen the existing
Lower Road up to the new roundabout
at Barton Hill Drive and to also provide
a right turn lane into Wall End Farm.

Planned Temporary Traffic
Signals
The early works on Phase 2a will
require the use of two way temporary
traffic signals on Lower Road where
restricted road widths dictate. The
signals will be in place weekdays and
will be manually controlled. Where
temporary traffic control is not
necessary works will be undertaken
within coned verges. It will be
necessary for works access points to
be located along the road in order for
the contractor to gain access to
works areas.
