City centre roadworks – which have caused traffic queues into the city for Colwick and Netherfield residents – were completed today.

The completion of works to introduce pedestrian facilities and better road surfaces at the Manvers Street / Pennyfoot Street / Newark Street junction was marked by new traffic signals being switched on.

The scheme, completed today (Friday, 4) provides a signalised pedestrian crossing at this busy junction for the first time.

The need for this has increased as a result of nearby works to redevelop the former Sneinton Wholesale Market, investment at BioCity and the completion of improved pedestrian facilities at Southwell Road and Carlton Road earlier in the year.

Councillor Nick McDonald, Portfolio Holder for Jobs, Growth and Transport at Nottingham City Council, said: “These improvements have caused some delays and disruption over a number of weeks and I must thank local residents, businesses and motorists for their patience during the short-term pain as many of them will benefit from the long-term gain.”
