\n

People interested in plans to upgrade the A38 in Derby are urged to have their say as Highways England prepares to launch a consultation this week on proposals to upgrade a busy bottleneck in the city.<\/p>\n

The project, valued at around \u00a3225m, will make journeys between Birmingham and the M1 and through Derby quicker and simpler by separating long distance traffic from those making local journeys.<\/p>\n

The Kingsway, Markeaton and Little Eaton roundabouts will be replaced with two underpasses and a flyover respectively, which will collectively help to reduce congestion on this busy route.<\/p>\n

The consultation is the next step in making the scheme a reality and runs from Friday, 7 September until Thursday, 18 October 2018.<\/p>\n

Highways England project manager, Paul Nagra, said:<\/p>\n

\n

This upgrade is an important development for the A38 and the tens of thousands of people that rely on the road every single day.<\/p>\n

Once this work is complete it will provide smoother and more reliable journeys along this important route helping support future investment and economic growth opportunities in the area.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The design has now been developed in more detail and people attending the consultation can have their say on the proposals.<\/p>\n

Anyone interested in the scheme can attend any of the public information events that are running between 7 September and 22 September at various locations throughout Derby.<\/p>\n
