This project is part of Nottingham and Derby’s Transforming Cities programme. Working in partnership, Nottingham City and Derby City Councils secured a total of £161m from the Department for Transport to invest in a range of local transport infrastructure schemes that will improve sustainable transport, support growth, and encourage more low carbon journeys.

The Queensbridge Road scheme, close to the new HMRC Unity Square building, will:

• Create a wide area of public realm that accommodates walking, cycling and scooters, with most of the car traffic removed
• Add new social areas with seating and chess tables being created from previous car parking spaces
• Include a new safer shared pedestrian and cycle path with no through road
• Plant new trees and a new hedge to screen the road, reducing noise and air pollution.
