Works to improve crossing points and install a new parallel crossing in the centre of Radstock are set to start and will take up to three weeks to complete.
From 17 February The Street in Radstock will be closed for seven days as the council improves the existing crossing point near the roundabout, works will see footways widened and new paving installed.
From 24 February Frome Road in Radstock will be closed for twelve days as the existing crossing point will be replaced with a parallel crossing. A parallel crossing gives priority to both pedestrians and cyclists and is made up of a zebra crossing with a cycleway alongside it. This section of Frome Road is part of the National Cycle Network’s 82-mile Bath to Bournemouth route. Improvements will also be made to footways and drainage as well as with high-friction surfacing and refreshed road markings on the highway.
Advanced notices have been in place to inform motorists of the upcoming works. Delays may occur, especially around peak times and the council is advising people plan their journeys if travelling in the area.
This is an area that sees a lot of foot traffic and these upgraded crossing points, particularly the new parallel crossing that’s being introduced, will make these journeys safer. We’ve planned the first phase of works to take place during school half term to help reduce any disruption.
Councillor Manda Rigby, Cabinet Member for Transport
The council is also re-aligning the crossing points on Nelson Ward Drive but will be keeping the road open to two-way traffic throughout.
