Derby City Council<\/a> has announced plans to improve one of the city\u2019s major commuter routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spondon Island, where Derby Road meets the A52, will undergo overnight surveys in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information gathered in these surveys will help develop a future improvement scheme for the junction that would have improved journey times and active travel options at its heart.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This future scheme would complement other recent works on the route to link Spondon and Chaddesden with the city centre and employment sites around Raynesway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding from the East Midlands Combined County Authority<\/a> has been made available to support the development of this scheme and to enable the initial surveys to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Carmel Swan, the city council\u2019s cabinet member for climate change, transport and sustainability, said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to be looking to the future and schemes that can help support more people to make their journeys on foot or by bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful to EMCCA for their commitment to improving travel and transport in Derby, and helping us become a greener, more mobile city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
