Issue details

City Link Road, Widemarsh Street, Station Approach, Hopton Road and Barrs Court Road, Hereford - various orders proposals

To authorise the formal advertising of various right turn, waiting and one-way restrictions in the Wards above as part of the Hereford City Link Road (ESG) scheme.

 

The City link road is being built as part of the Hereford City Centre Transport Package. The new road will enable regeneration of the city by opening up land for redevelopment which was previously inaccessible or had poor access. It will also help relieve some of the traffic on Blueschool and Newmarket Streets. This will enable these streets and Commercial Road to be upgraded to make walking and cycling to the city centre more accessible and pleasurable and the provision of a new transport hub at the train station is also planned to complement these proposals.

The city link road is currently being constructed having secured planning consent and following confirmation of the necessary highway orders. Approval is now sought to make the traffic orders which are needed to support the design of the link and the safe use of the road by traffic when complete.
