Works have now started on the latest phase of Trafford Council's programme of constructing cyclops junctions along the A56 Chester Rd/Talbot Rd. The junction improvements will see the creation of a safe continuous cycling and walking link through to the centre of Trafford, opening the area up for active travel, improving safety and taking cars off the road. Phase 6 will see the junctions of Talbot Rd/Chester Rd and Talbot Rd/Seymour Rd undergoing major reconfiguration into cycle friendly cyclops junctions, including smart signals to cut down on unnecessary waiting. Talbot Road is a very busy road and well used by local cyclists to get around. These works will make it easier and safer to use 🚴 🚦

Work to build a temporary car park behind the Holiday Inn on Talbot Road has started this week. The work is being done by George Cox Ltd and is expected to be complete in spring 2025. Preparatory work is taking place from this week, with activity increasing in the new year. The Holiday Inn Blackpool, an IHG Hotel and tram extension opened this summer, as phase two of the Talbot Gateway regeneration around Blackpool North train station.

The A34 Scheme, in partnership with Stockport Council focuses on enhancing walking and cycling accessibility, supporting future housing, employment growth and tackling congestion by increasing capacity at the key locations along the corridor. A new cycle route is proposed along Broadway creating links to existing east & west cycle connections in the area. The works include: • A traffic calmed route along Broadway and its side roads with kerb line buildout to complement the existing 20mph zone. • An on-carriageway cycle route in both directions with upgraded pedestrian facilities at side roads on both sides of Broadway. • A cycle link from Broadway to Mornington Road. • Drainage works including SuDS permeable footways around raised tables along Broadway Relocation of existing bus stop lay-by. • Disconnection and removal of internally illuminated traffic signs. • Access protection markings across all driveways along Broadway to reduce obstruction by parked vehicles. • No waiting at any time restrictions are proposed to enhance visibility at all junctions along Broadway. • Uncontrolled tactile crossings at junctions along Foxland Road. • An on-carriageway cycle route in both directions along Foxland Road. • Provision of new waiting restrictions on Foxland Road to improve visibility and access. • Provision of raised tables at the junctions of Barcheston Road / Broadway and High Grove Road / Broadway. • Provision of additional traffic calming including raised junction tables along the quiet streets of Milton Crescent, High Grove Road and Wensley Road. • Landscaping tree planting to be undertaken within Brookfields Park. The works will start Monday 21st October and last for 22 weeks. Most of the works will be low impact activities in localised areas involving footpath realignment and associated drainage works. There may be some disruption during the carriageway surfacing to create the speed tables, these are planned to be: Richmond Hill Road & Wensleydale Ave - Mid November Milton Crescent - Late November High Grove Road - Late Dec Broadway - Mid Jan Barchester Rod - Mid Feb Keep an eye on https://lnkd.in/edtpN8s9 for future progress updates.                                

This week, we joined CITB, CICES, and CECA staff & members at Trafford & Stockport College Group to give students a hands-on experience with the Mobile Plant Simulator, sponsored by Civil & Remediation Ltd, to spark interest in careers in construction. Over our dedicated two days the students tried the simulator and connected with our team members across the company to explore different industry pathways. A big thank you goes out to all those who attended and promoted their expertise and organisations throughout the simulator visit 🚧 👷
