Southgates Plans Revealed
The latest redevelopment of the Southgates roundabout has started.
The pictures below are still officially a 'design proposal' but show the basic ideas that the Highways team want to introduce.
The entrances from Hardwick Road and Nar Ouse Way will be widened and have traffic lights.
And it'll all be moved slightly to the south (into the Lorry Park) and made a bit bigger.
Workstarted in February and will then continue until August.
Following a slight delay in completing street lighting works, footway surfacing will now be
finished next week and all works are due to completed by Friday 27th August.
All new street lighting columns are now installed and connected, and footway surfacing
will resume next using off-peak lane closures to finish the scheme along with signs,
bollards and the like. Works are due to be substantially finished by Friday 20th August.
The new traffic signals on the roundabout and at Hardwick Road were successfully commissioned this week and are now in use.
Fine tuning continues to ensure their timings are set to give the best performance for everyone using the roundabout.
