The next stage of road improvements in Nottingham city centre have begun.
(Sourced from My Nottingham.)
Roads around Lower Parliament Street and Hockley will see improvements as part of the Connecting Eastside Project.
The £6.8 million Connecting Eastside project is being funded by the European Regional Development Fund, East Midlands Development Agency, Single Programme and central Government.
This part of the project will radically enhance pedestrian connections between the city centre, Sneinton and St Ann's in the eastside area, while improving transport links for cyclists and traffic. As part of other stages of project, Sneinton Market will be transformed into a new public space and there will be widespread improvements to the connections with the Gedling Street area too.
This stage of the project involves improving Lower Parliament Street at the junction of Heathcoat Street and Cranbrook Street in the city from Monday 5thJuly by:
• Widening the pavements
• Laying high quality paving
• Improving the traffic lights in this area
• Creating improvements for cyclists
• Installing new pedestrian crossings.
