Work Starts On First Phase Of Station Quarter Development
Work has started on the first phase of the Station Quarter public realm enhancement.
Work to remove a footbridge and install improved pedestrian facilities linking Station Quarter to the town centre has now commenced as part of the Station Quarter development.
The 48 metre long ageing footbridge, which has been in place since the mid 1980s, will be completely dismantled and removed as part of this first initial phase.
The work will be part of a series of extensive highway improvements associated with the Station Quarter development with this first phase delivered under an initial temporary road closure of Lawn Central from 3 June 2024.
Details about the next stages of work will be confirmed in due course.
Access to all car parks will be unaffected for the duration of the works and both vehicle and pedestrian / cyclist diversions will be in place.
The bridge removal is the first stage in improving connectivity between Telford train station and Telford shopping centre on Ironmasters Way, through to the Lawn Central junction, benefitting Telford and Wrekin residents and visitors.
Once the bridge has been removed, the scheme will proceed to the installation of new pedestrian facilities including a feature ramp and steps covering the sloped area between Lawn Central and the town centre which will improve accessibility to the Telford centre.
Further phases of work will follow on from this and comprise of:
Lawn Central carriageway improvements
A new signalised pedestrian crossing, with highway realignments and resurfacing as well as new paving to footpaths.
These works will consist of highway realignment and resurfacing. There are also plans for a tree lined avenue on either side of the adopted highway.
Further details on these works will be provided over the coming months.
Station Quarter is set to transform Telford town centre with new homes, a digital skills and enterprise hub called The Quad and public amenity spaces and squares.
The project is all part of a wider regeneration programme which is also seeing significant investment and transformation in other areas of Telford and Wrekin including Oakengates and Wellington.
