Construction News Image
Construction work is expected to commence on a package of Active Travel improvements for cyclists and pedestrians on the A259, between Bognor Regis and Chichester.

The project is being funded by the Department for Transport from its Active Travel Fund to provide extra facilities to encourage walking and cycling. It will include:

• A new signalised 'Toucan' crossing for cyclists and pedestrians using the existing shared path and to replace the traffic island on the busy A259 near Marsh Lane, east of the Drayton roundabout.

• A lower 50mph speed Limit on the A259 from the Drayton roundabout towards Bognor Regis – essential for the introduction of the stand-alone, traffic signal-controlled crossing.

• Building lengths of new footway at each of the Merston Corner bus stops.

• Real Time Passenger Information displays will be installed at both bus stops.

Subject to unforeseen circumstances, such as severe weather, work is scheduled to start on 3 October and take until mid-December.

For the protection of both the public and workforce, temporary traffic lights will be in operation from 19 October, so road users are advised to expect delays and please allow more time for their journeys.

During the works, cyclists and pedestrians are encouraged to use alternative crossing points on the A259, such as the uncontrolled crossing point just south of the Drayton roundabout.
