Work has started on a 40-week major Manchester road scheme.
Changes to the Mancunian Way and Princess Road roundabout junction, have been designed to improve accessibility between the city centre and south Manchester neighbourhoods for pedestrians and cyclists.
Signals will be added to the roundabout, with two new links - northbound towards Medlock Street and eastbound towards Mancunian Way East.
Work is being carried out by Colas 海角视频, which was awarded the £6m contract by the city council under Manchester’s highways & infrastructure construction works to design and build the new scheme.
A mixture of segregated pedestrian and cycle tracks and shared-use spaces are set to feature in the new scheme.
Colas 海角视频 CEO Carl Fergusson said the contract wins underlines it “strategic commitment” to Manchester and the north-west region.
He said: “We presented a cost-effective, collaborative approach backed by an excellent, well-qualified team.
“As a business, we work well with our local supply chain partners to deliver an innovative, can-do service, which played a major part in securing this project.”
