The works are part of a major redevelopment in the city centre
Motorists have been warned of impending “major works” likely to cause significant traffic issues. Drivers heading into work in Peterborough recently will have seen signs on main roads warning that delays are expected.
The signage also confirms that the work is scheduled to begin on July 6 and last until summer 2027. The Queensgate roundabout is one of the busiest interchanges in the city.
The works are likely to cause significant disruption as much of the traffic using the roundabout and surrounding area is drawn to the car parks which serve both the railway station and Queensgate Shopping Centre.
The works are part of a £1.5 million overhaul which will see two of the roundabout’s three subways filled in and then replaced with a pedestrian crossing into Cowgate. This initiative – known as ‘City Link’ – will allow people and cyclists to make use of a realigned path on raised ground level to reach the city centre.
The transformation of the Queensgate roundabout is the first phase of the £65 million Station Quarter regeneration. It aims to turn Peterborough railway station into a double-sided gateway with a new western entrance, commercial space, and enhanced cycle and pedestrian links into the city centre.
