Summary of the Proposals
The proposals are illustrated on the plan below.
New Junctions
It is planned to remove the existing roundabouts and construct new underpasses at Stoke Road and City Road and hence remove the congestion currently experienced by through traffic and local road users. The line of the A500 at both junctions would be significantly below existing ground level. The underpasses would be more compact than the existing roundabouts. New bridges would provide direct links across the A500 at a similar level to the existing roundabouts. Both bridges would include priority measures for buses and improved access for pedestrians and cyclists. At Stoke Road, the canal would be realigned to follow its original 18th Century route. At City Road the River Trent would be taken out of culvert and run in an open channel.
