Junction 9 and Drovers
As the town grows our road
network needs to be able to cope with the increased traffic levels
that a bigger population will bring.
Improvements to Junction 9 and Drovers Roundabout will make it
easier to travel across town by car, foot or bike and help support
future growth of the town in areas such as Eureka Park and Repton
Park.
Changes include
introducing traffic signals, widening approach roads and building a
landmark footbridge over the M20.
By doing the improvements needed for the next 20 years in one go we
are taking a coordinated, strategic approach rather than
changes in stages as and when development occurs.
This means reduced construction
costs and less disruption for residents in the long term.
A planning application is due to be submitted shortly for the new
bridge over the M20 and the Park and Ride scheme.
Work starts on the junction improvements and footbridge in
spring 2010 and finishes in spring 2011.
