Why the Scheme is needed
The prime objective of the A500 Stoke Pathfinder Project is to assist with the economic regeneration of Stoke-on-Trent, by relieving congestion on the A500 at the busy Stoke Road and City Road Junctions.
This section of the A500 suffers severe traffic congestion particularly during the rush hour with long queues at both roundabouts. Traffic levels have increased greatly since they were built. The A500 corridor is difficult to cross for people on foot, or by cyclists and divides important parts of the City such as Stoke town centre, the railway station and university. The subways at Stoke Road and City Road are particularly poor. The existing bridges and walls are unattractive and have an adverse effect on the town environment, the River Trent and the Trent and Mersey Canal.
