Following a tender process, Taylor Woodrow have been appointed as contractor for the Devon Hotel roundabout upgrade and Trood Lane Junction. Works are due to start on site on Monday 18th September 2023 with an expected completed in Summer 2024. Works will be carried out under lane closures or contraflow systems, alongside a temporary 30mph speed limit.
The improvements to Devon Hotel roundabout include the creation of additional capacity on the western arm of the roundabout, with an additional lane on the entry to the roundabout, realignment of the central island as well as a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing.
The scheme is being combined with the delivery of a new signal junction at Trood Lane (to the west of the Devon Hotel roundabout) with the aim of minimising the impact of the works.
