Construction work starts on the first of seven temporary cycleway schemes in West Sussex.

This is taken directly from the WSCC website.   Construction work starts on the first of seven temporary cycleway schemes in West Sussex in the week begining July 27th and is likely to take about a fortnight to complete.   The Chichester scheme will connect the Spitalfield Lane, hospital area with the city’s railway station, creating a 2km-long “keyworker corridor” for safe cycling. The route will also link to the central retail area and other major employment sites, such as the University of Chichester.   It includes reallocating road space for cycling by segregating lane one of the dual-carriageway on the A286 Chichester Ring-Road and widening the existing cycle lane on the busy gyratory.   A combination of traffic segregation ‘wands’, temporary 20mph speed limits and road markings and signage will be used throughout.

The second of the seven schemes to start will create cycle provision connecting the north and south of Worthing, from the A24/A259 Grove Lodge roundabout area to the town centre. The likely start date for this project will be announced soon.
