As part of the upgrade to the new CYCLOPS junction at Bewsey Road and Lovely Lane, we will be resurfacing the roads from next week.

The work includes the approach roads of Lovely Lane / Lodge Lane / Folly Lane / Bewsey Road. To carry out this work we will need to close the junction to traffic on certain nights between the hours of 7pm and 11pm. All work that needs heavy machinery will be carried out from 7pm to limit the noise during the evening.

CYCLOPS junctions

‘Cycle Optimised Protected Signals junction.’ Commonly known as ‘CYCLOPS’, this type of junction separates people walking, cycling and wheeling from vehicles, reducing the risk of collisions or conflict between users.

CYCLOPS junctions have a number of benefits over other junction layouts, including:

• Crossing times for people walking are shorter and closer to the preferred route
• Cyclists are separated from motor vehicles and from pedestrians
• The signal phase for people walking and cycling can run at the same time
• The overall junction performance for all modes of travel is optimised
