WISBECH ACCESS STRATEGY Phase 1
EH1: Elm High Road/A47 Roundabout
Key points to the scheme
The scheme looks to deliver:
A positive impact on A47 journey time reliability
A positive impact upon the A1101 with improved north/south traffic flows at the
roundabout
Improve access to/from the A47
Maximised use of existing infrastructure in the new layout
A positive impact upon the local environment
Improve the potential for sustainable transport provision
Why?
The existing northbound and southbound approaches to the Elm High Road / A47
roundabout have been identified as areas where traffic congestion can form ,
especially at peak times of the day.
What’s the plan?
Improve the existing roundabout and approaches to increase capacity of the junction
and improve performance and safety.
Install dedicated turning lanes on Elm High Road (A1101)
Improvement existing pedestrian crossings at the junction
An interim scheme before more significant improvements are made in the next phase
of the Wisbech Access Strategy
