Project Overview

Currently, Neachells Lane junction suffers from

  • significant congestion
  • poor provision for cyclists and pedestrians

Proposed improvements consist of:

  • A signalised roundabout to cater for all movements with increased traffic capacity to reduce congestion and delay.
  • Provision of dedicated and segregated lanes for cyclists travelling east-west along Willenhall Road. The north-south provision for cyclists is a mix of segregated paths and paths with facilities shared with pedestrians.

Current status

Following consultation of design options, a preferred design has been selected. This is the subject of a Planning Application currently being considered by the Council. The Council has authority to seek funding for the delivery of this scheme.
