A46/A5630 Anstey Lane Junction Improvement, Leicester

Infrastructure Project of the Year Award 2020-2021 Finalist

The scheme involved improvements of a major connection between the strategic A46, the Leicester local highway network and an area of significant housing growth in north Leicester.

Upgrading the length of the dual carriageway in both directions and increasing the number of lanes on the approach to the roundabouts provided a much-needed capacity increase to the local road infrastructure.

The scheme provided a gyratory system and signals improvements including traffic light control at the roundabouts. Improvements were made for pedestrian and cycling routes and provided safe crossing point facilities.
