A three year project to spend millions improving Middlesbrough’s highways has been given the green light.
A programme of works has been drawn up which will see an initial £3.8m invested in the town’s roads, paths and verges in the first year - 2015/16 - followed by £4.1m in 2016/17 and £3.3m in 2017/18.
And after considering the programme, Middlesbrough Council’s executive member for regeneration, Councillor Charlie Rooney, today approved the works.
Included in the first phase will be resurfacing of sections of the A66, Ladgate Lane and Stockton Road and works to remove two rush hour “bottlenecks”. This would be achieved by widening and remodelling works at the Cranmore Road and Cargo Fleet Lane junction in Pallister Park and by upgrading the traffic light signals at the Longlands Road/Cargo Fleet junction to allow greater flexibility of traffic control.
Other important works will be for a walking and cycling between Ormesby Beck and Cargo Fleet lane, providing enhanced access to the new Middlesbrough Sports Village and a new route in the Church Lane area of Acklam.
The £3.8m capital funding for the works in 2015/16 is made up of £2.9m from the Local Transport Plan grant and £900,000 from the council’s capital programme.
Cllr Rooney said: “This increased investment will go some way to improving the quality of the town’s roads, footways and verges and the individual projects that make up this programme of works will be greatly appreciated once complete.
“It is very pleasing to be able to both make improvements to ease traffic congestion and to enhance road surfaces which will please motorists, as well as introduce new walking and cycling routes to the town which can be enjoyed by all.”
The report on which Cllr Rooney based his decision had argued: “Strategic investment in the highway network using the principles of ‘prevention is better than cure’ provides many advantages over the piecemeal reactive ‘pothole filling’ sticking plaster approach.”
Here are the roads which have been planned in for repairs in the first phase of the scheme - with work due to take place in 2015/16.
