Background
The Transforming Nuneaton ring road highway improvements programme is a suite of projects that will support development to Nuneaton town centre and the wider borough.
It will unlock development to support the wider Transforming Nuneaton programme, help to reduce and improve the existing Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs), enhance existing cycling infrastructure, along with creating new infrastructure, therefore encouraging more sustainable travel and relieve existing localised pinch points and congestion.
The projects include a new cycleway through Abbey Gardens, upgrades to the A444 Coton Road roundabout, improvements to the A444 Wheat Street junction, upgrading of the A444 Corporation Street roundabout and a new roundabout at A444 Leicester Road/Back Street/Bond Street/Regent Street to replace the existing one-way gyratory system.
Active travel elements have been incorporated into each scheme including improved cycle and pedestrian routes and facilities into the town centre.
