The new £50 million train station aims to improve connectivity in the city
Roadworks are due to begin on a major city centre roundabout as work is set to begin on a new train station. Work is underway to build a new £50 million train station for Peterborough, aiming to improve connectivity and provide a double-sided railway station for the city.
The first stage of construction for the project will begin on Monday, July 6. From 7pm on Sunday, July 5, until Monday, July 6, there will be a full closure of the Queensgate roundabout so traffic management can be set up. From Monday, lanes will be closed.
A Peterborough City Council spokesperson said: “The project will fill in two out of the three subways and create a modern and welcoming surface level route from Peterborough Railway Station to the city centre (via Cowgate). The surrounding landscape will also be enhanced, making the route safer and more attractive. It is expected to be complete in summer 2027.”
Pedestrian diversions will be in place from July 6. People have been advised to allow extra time for their journeys. They have also been encouraged to plan ahead.
