What disruption or changes will the works cause?
- Overnight closures will take place, we will confirm the dates on this page ASAP
- Traffic will be managed around the site with temporary traffic lights
- It will be necessary to temporarily relocate bus stops that fall within the works site; notices will be put up in advance and information provided on this website to update you on where the temporary stops will be placed
- Pedestrians will be diverted to the southside footway while works take place on the northside. Access to the canal towpath will be maintained throughout.
Thane Road phase 1 was completed October 2023 – January 2024
Construction began on 23 October to improve congestion along Thane Road heading towards the ring road by increasing junction capacity at the mini-roundabout where Thane Road meets Lenton Lane.
The Government-funded works will widen the road by slightly moving the existing southern footpath to enable introduce an additional traffic lane on Thane Road between Bull Close Road and the mini-roundabout.
This provided a dedicated right turn approach lane into the mini-roundabout.
As part of the new footpath alignment, a new smooth surface was provided and lighting columns moved out of the way to create a new shared-use unobstructed facility for pedestrians and cyclists; continuing the programme of infrastructure improvements to accommodate increasing levels of cycling.

About Transforming Cities
In 2020, Nottingham and Derby City Councils were successful in securing unprecedented funding from the Department of Transport’s Transforming Cities fund when they were awarded £161m for a huge programme of transport improvements.
The joint bid was the only one in the country to secure the full amount requested from the DfT. Now, Nottingham is almost three years into the massive programme of works. All the schemes meet key TCF objectives: Supporting commuting, employment, development and economic growth
This scheme is part of an ongoing package of enhancements along the Southern Growth Corridor designed to serve existing employment sites and to cater for the travel demand predicted from new housing, employment and leisure developments along the corridor. Later phases include proposals for a new eastbound bus lane from Boots to the A52 / Queens Drive Park and Ride site providing new bus priority measures and enhancing links to existing bus based park and ride sites with further cycle links improvements incorporating new pedestrian connectivity measures to businesses and facilities along Thane Road.
