Calvert Lane Capacity Improvement

The council has launched a six-week public engagement exercise to get feedback from residents, businesses and commuters on proposals to address two congestion pinch points in the west of the city.

The Calvert Lane/North Road/Anlaby Road junction and the Spring Bank West/Willerby Road roundabout have been identified as priority sites for improvement as part of a proactive plan by the council to futureproof the network in Hull and prepare the area for an anticipated increase in traffic volumes in the years ahead.

A scheme has been designed to increase capacity at the junction and roundabout, with the aim of reducing congestion and improving journey reliability while also enhancing safety and active travel facilities for pedestrians and people cycling.

The proposals include -

• the introduction of signal-controlled crossings, providing dedicated crossing opportunities for pedestrians and people cycling as well as moving cyclists onto off-road facilities
• enhancing walking and cycling infrastructure, including new toucan crossings, a parallel crossing, a new pedestrian refuge island on Calvert Lane and new shared-use footway and cycleway links
• widening the carriageway to provide additional traffic lanes on southbound Calvert Road and northbound Calvert Lane
• extending existing lanes on southbound Calvert Lane and the eastbound and westbound right-turn lanes on Anlaby Road to help reduce queuing
• removal of a limited number of trees, to accommodate widening, with replacement planting provided at a ratio of two new trees for every tree removed
• resurfacing the carriageway and footways to improve their condition, durability and long-term performance
