Shelton New Road to Stoke Road
This section of A500 would be widened to three lanes in each direction with on and off slip roads at the Stoke Road and Shelton New Road junctions. The level of the A500 would be similar to existing. A small amount of land would be required on the western side of the A500 to build the improvements near to Stoke Road, including a new open channel for the Fowlea Brook.
This section of A500 would remain as two lanes in each direction, but would be rebuilt within the area of land that currently forms the wide central reservation. For the most part the level of the A500 would be similar to the existing road, but on the approach to each underpass the level would be reduced to go below existing ground level. The existing A500 carriageways would be converted into new link roads running between Stoke Road and City Road either side of the new A500. Sections of the link roads approaching the two junctions would be reduced in level enabling the canalside retaining wall between Stoke Road and Glebe Street to be lowered in height. Motorists travelling north on the link road from City Road would be able to join the A500 using a new slip road situated just south of Glebe Street bridge. Similarly, motorists travelling south on the link road from Stoke Road would be able to join the A500 by another slip road. The existing bridge at Glebe Street would be retained unchanged.
