Survey work to inform the detailed design of junction improvements to the A60 Nottingham Road junction with Park Lane and Baums Lane in Mansfield have been completed.
The work will help support the council’s ambition to undertake a major upgrade of the junction as part of the UK Government funded Bus Service Improvement Plan and Levelling Up Partnership fund.
The project, led by Nottinghamshire County Council and delivered by Via East Midlands, aims to identify improvements that will enhance the capacity and efficiency of the junction by reducing wait times for vehicles at peak times, improve access to the retail park, reduce travel times for bus users, and provide safer and more convenient crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
The first phase of the project involved advanced survey works over the last three weeks at the junction which included drilling multiple boreholes across the area and within the Sainsbury’s Petrol Filling Station and car park.
The outcome of the survey works will help to plan the final design and construction of any potential junction improvements, which will be subject to further approval.
