Summary
- Where: St Denys Road/Belmont Road Junction
- When: Spring 2023 – Summer 2023
- What: Replacing the traffic signals with crossing points for cyclists and pedestrians, relocating the westbound bus stop closer to Portswood, introducing a westbound cycle lane, and narrowing of the junction of Belmont Road North with St Denys Road, preventing vehicle exit and making it entrance only.
- Why: To improve travel for buses, cyclists, and pedestrians on the junction of St Denys Road and Belmont Road
- How: Funded as part of a Transforming Cities Fund awarded in March 2020.
Work took place on the junction of Belmont Road/St Denys Road to improve facilities for buses, cyclists, and pedestrians travelling around this area, which would in turn improve traffic flow travelling from Bitterne Triangle to Portswood. These junction improvements form part of the St Deny’s Transport Corridor.
Measures implemented have included:
- Replacement of the traffic signals at the junction of Belmont Road and St Denys Road with dedicated crossing points for cyclists and pedestrians, along with new tactile paving.
- Relocating the westbound bus stop on St Denys Road closer towards Portswood.
- Narrowing of the junction of Belmont Road North with St Denys Road, preventing vehicle exit and making it entrance only.
- The introduction of a segregated cycle lane travelling westbound into Portswood from the junction with Thomas Lewis Way.
This scheme is now completed.
