A1033 Hedon Road Improvement, Hull
Background Information
The Hull Access A1033 Hedon road improvement scheme has been in planning for over a decade. It is one of the largest road improvement projects to be undertaken under the present Government and one of the first to get underway.
The scheme has improved travel to and from Hull Docks and help create jobs, development and prosperity in the area.
The existing roads carries 34,300 vehicles per day, of which 18% are heavy good vehicles, and suffers from long queues and delays - particularly during peak periods.
The scheme upgraded Hedon Road into a dual carriageway, building new roundabouts and flyovers to ease congestion. Right turning and traffic signals have been eliminated to improve safety and traffic flow.
Dedicated cycle and pedestrian facilities have been provided, together with improved access to bus stops.
It is estimated that the scheme will lead to fewer road accidents over a 30-year period, preventing five deaths and nearly 1000 accidents.
Hull access is a flagship scheme highlighted by its priority in the national Targeted programme of improvements. This is reinforced by the importance of the regional economy, as Hedon road is the first point of entry for many foreign visitors to the country and also a through route for British industry and tourists travelling to the European continent.
