Work on the Temple Gate scheme will run from 26 June 2017 until Autumn 2019. The associated construction work will result in changes to how pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicles travel through the area.
Cycle restrictions
Due to the reduced road space available during the works, all cycle lanes through the area have been closed. In order to ensure cyclist safety, signs have been erected warning drivers not to overtake cyclists through the works.
