This project consists of highway improvements to the ‘Selly Oak Triangle’ of Bristol road, Harborne Lane and Chapel Lane. It will remove a congestion hotspot on the A38, fully realising the benefits of phases 1a and 2 of the Selly Ok New Road.
Crucially, it will unlock the Selly Oak Triangle site for redevelopment and support the Life Sciences Campus development, the proposed Biomedical Innovation Hub and a major new supermarket.
Furthermore, by relieving congestion and pollution in Selly Oak it will benefit businesses and increase bus reliability in the A38 and A4040 corridors.
Funding for this project is available from 2015/16 to 2019/20.
