Works are taking place to ‘modernise’ traffic signals

A busy Cambridgeshire road will undergo six-week long roadworks to “modernise” its traffic lights. Cambridgeshire County Council will carry out roadworks along London Road and Broadway in Yaxley from Monday, September 14.

The roadworks are anticipated to take around six weeks. A Yaxley Parish Council spokesperson said: “Please be aware that Cambridgeshire County Council will soon be carrying out essential works to modernise the traffic signals at the London Road/Broadway junction in Yaxley.

“The works are being carried out to modernise the traffic signal equipment, improve reliability, replace obsolete street furniture and ensure the junction meets current standards.”

Temporary traffic lights will be put in place while the work is carried out. The council spokesperson added: “Every effort will be made to minimise disruption to traffic and pedestrians, and access to private properties and businesses will be maintained wherever possible. Please allow a little extra time for your journey and take care around the works.”
