St Annes Street junction, Chester - Active Travel England funded scheme
Major road works to upgrade this junction will follow previous schemes completed in 2024.
Following initial preparation work last month on widening the cycle lane from Victoria Road down to St Anne Street, the main junction improvement works are due to start on Monday 6 January 2025.
The improvement scheme will include the replacement of old equipment and upgraded traffic signals equipment, plus active travel and local safety measures. Segregated crossing facilities around the full junction will be installed, including a new signal crossing facility to enable a direct crossing to the Chester Bus Interchange.
The works will be ongoing until mid April.
Road closure needed
A full road closure of the junction of St Anne Street (with no access in from or onto St Oswalds Way) will be in place for the duration of the works. Various lane closures on St Oswalds Way dual carriageway will be in place throughout the works.
The in-house designed scheme is jointly funded by Active Travel England and the Emerging Pressures budgets following successful bids that we made.
