What's happening and what it means for you
Highway works will begin in December. This aims to create a safer, greener, and more connected community. The project is focused on:
- upgrading infrastructure
- preparing the area for new homes and public spaces
What's changing
To get the area ready for future housing development, we're starting with important road and drainage improvements. These include:
- removing the underpass and bringing the road up to street level - this will make it easier to walk, cycle, and drive through the area
- making the roundabout smaller to help calm traffic and improve safety
- taking down the old footbridge and replacing it with safer, more accessible crossings
- installing drainage tanks to help manage rainwater and reduce the risk of flooding
These changes will make the area more attractive and ready for future development.
Better ways to get around
We're also improving how people move through Queensway:
- new cycle paths will connect Victoria Station in the north, to the seafront in the south - making it easier to travel by bike
- toucan crossings, which can be used by both pedestrians and cyclists, will be added to improve safety and accessibility
What's next
Once these works are complete, the area will be ready for new homes and public spaces. This is a key step in transforming Queensway into a vibrant, welcoming place for everyone.
