Work begins today on the Scalby Road, Stepney Road and Falsgrave Road junction.
A £4m project to ease congestion and to improve safety at four key junctions in Scarborough is nearing completion as work is set to begin on the final junction on Monday October 4th.
The Scalby Road, Stepney Road and Falsgrave Road junction will be widened and the existing mini-roundabout replaced with traffic signals. Scalby Road and Stepney Road will have new signal-controlled pedestrian crossings.
The first phase is due to begin today and will last for ten weeks between 7.30am and 6pm on weekdays. It will take place under a temporary lane closure on Scalby Road which will be removed at the end of each day. Pedestrians will be diverted via Cambridge Place.
Essential utility works will be carried out before the second phase can begin, with the scheme due to be completed by Spring 2022.
Improvements have already taken place at the two adjacent junctions of Scalby Road/Woodlands Drive and Scalby Road/Stepney Drive, as well as the junction near Scarborough Hospital.
County Councillor Liz Colling, who represents the Falsgrave and Stepney division, said:
“The wider scheme has already brought major improvements at the three completed junctions so I’m looking forward to seeing this one take shape.
“We have liaised with residents whose properties front onto the works and advance warning signs are in place. We apologise for any inconvenience these essential works will cause.”
County Councillor Don Mackenzie, Executive Member for Access, said:
“The modifications at these four junctions are designed to accommodate increased traffic flows which are predicted as Scarborough continues to grow.
“In their original layout, each junction was expected to reach capacity by the end of the Local Plan in 2032. These improvements demonstrate our commitment to delivering a sustainable and better connected road network for residents, visitors and commuters alike.”
