Market Bosworth Road Improvements Underway
This long awaited scheme includes new pedestrian crossings, a clockwise one-way road system, junction improvements, widened footways and cycle parking.
The Market Bosworth Parish Council and Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council scheme will take 10 weeks, with work in the historic town carried out on their behalf by Leicestershire County Council.
Upgrades will include:
- Improved priority system at the junction of Rectory Lane and Sutton Lane
- Two-hour restricted parking bays in Market Place
- New one-way clockwise gyratory system on Market Place and Main Street
- New 20mph speed limit within the town centre and approach roads
- Road resurfacing
When completed, residents and businesses are expected to benefit from reduced speeds and improved road safety, better traffic flow, and limited waiting parking bays.
New pedestrian crossings, widened footway areas and cycle parking will also feature, improving active travel provision to the town.
To ensure safety and efficiency, the improvements work will be carried out in phases, using a combination of temporary road closures and changes to traffic direction.
Access to homes and premises will be maintained as much as possible. There may be short periods of restriction, which will be carefully managed and kept to a minimum.
