Phase 3 work involves:

• Widening of narrow pavements
• A new, segregated cycle lane on either side of A660 Woodhouse Lane, by removing the central reservation on the road
• A new toucan crossing near Cliff Road, to help school children cross
• Cliff Road becoming one-way southbound to motor vehicles, with a banned right turn out onto the A660
• Bus priority measures and the replacement of existing bus stops with new bus shelters and upgraded real-time technology
• Signalisation of Rampart Road junction with a banned right turn out onto the A660
• Major upgrade and reconfiguration of A660/Clarendon Road junction, including banned left turn onto the A660
• New trees and greenery
• Resurfacing of the road 

Once works are complete in Spring 2027, new restrictions will be in place.

Phase 3 construction is split into 3 phases:

• June 26 to September 26 – works on the northern side of the A660, with traffic running in the two lanes on the south side, with the suspension of the bus lanes
•  July 26 to Spring 27 – works to improve the junction of Clarendon Road and A660
• September 26 to Spring 27 – works on the southern side of the A660, with two way traffic flow on the northern side

Traffic will continue to flow in both directions on Woodhouse Lane. Access to businesses will be maintained during their opening hours, and local and emergency access will continue throughout.

Construction designs have been updated since the consultation, with officers now removing the central reservation in the road to create a fully segregated cycle path on Avenue Walk (adjacent to Woodhouse Moor). Additional pockets of greenery and floating bus stop bypasses are also included in the plans – in line with Department for Transport’s guidance on cycle and bus stop provision.

While works are ongoing on Woodhouse Lane and Clarendon Road, temporary bus stops will be in operation nearby.

During works in July access onto Rampart Road is restricted, with temporary diversion routes will be in place.
