Over the next few months, there will be a number of layout changes at Landing Drive roundabout, some of which may impact traffic flow during peak periods. These layout changes are necessary to enable the team to create safe work areas and complete the upgrade of Landing Drive roundabout to an 8 lane intersection.

When will I notice changes?

The first change will occur Saturday 3rd March when we reduce the size of the roundabout. There will be no reduction in the number of lanes but some lanes may change alignment slightly to accommodate the smaller roundabout.

What do I need to do?

Please be patient, obey the lights and allow a little extra time. The temporary traffic lights will help support traffic flow and reduce the impact.

Why is the roundabout being upgraded?

The Landing Drive roundabout is almost at capacity. A roundabout works best when there is a similar flow of vehicles on each arm of the roundabout. At Landing Drive, the strong north/south flow means the roundabout is not balanced and doesn‘t work as well as it could. The solution is a new 8-lane intersection with permanent traffic lights which will improve safety and journey reliability. Construction is planned to complete August 2018.

What will the intersection look like?

When complete, the intersection will have 8-lanes for north and southbound traffic flow, with
dedicated left and right turn lanes.
Landing Drive and Verissimo Drive will also have dedicated turning and straight through lanes. This
will improve the flow of traffic entering and exiting the industrial areas.
