A61

The aim of this scheme is to upgrade three roundabout junctions to the west and north of Derby in order to allow A38 traffic to flow freely through the junctions, and thus improve safety and reduce congestion. The three junctions to be upgraded are the A38/A5111 Kingsway junction, the A38/A52 Markeaton junction, and the A38/A61 Little Eaton junction.

A mostly on-line upgrade of sections of existing A61 to connect M621 J4 to the sections of road already improved in Stage 6 at Hunslet. The new road will be dual-two lane standard and partly grade-separated, featuring a 500m elevated section south of the River Aire.

Creation of a new dual two-lane route around the centre of Sheffield, partly on a new alignment and partly by widening existing roads. The new route is effectively an inner ring road, and is intended to largely replace the abandoned 1960s attempt at an inner ring that was disruptive and caused a great deal of severance. The new road is at-grade and features extensive landscaping.

Stage 1 of the new road has already been completed and current works (detailed on this page) comprise Stage 2.
