DESIGN WORK COMPLETE ON SCHEME TO RETURN TWO LANES
A BIG step has been taken towards Freetown Way returning to two lanes of traffic in both directions with work potentially starting later this year.
Detailed design work has now been completed on the scheme, which will also see the creation of off-road cycle lanes, and a contractor is now being sought to carry out the project.
The major Hull city centre road was altered five years ago which saw the cycle lane widened and segregated, while road traffic was reduced to one lane in both directions.
However, a Hull City Council survey in 2024 revealed more than 80 per cent of respondents supported the idea of relocating the cycle lanes currently on the road to an off-road location by widening the footway to provide separate areas for cyclists and pedestrians. This plan also includes returning the main carriageway to two lanes of traffic in both directions.
