🚴♂️ Cyclists fear £15M roundabout upgrades in Spalding could make roads more dangerous
The Pedals Spalding Cycle Action Group has expressed concerns that the proposed £15 million improvements to two roundabouts in Spalding might create a greater risk to cyclists and pedestrians.
Under the proposed plans for the Springfield Roundabout, it would be expanded with additional approach lanes added on the A16 and extended entry lanes on the A151 approaches. "The route enables safer cycling and walking, connecting the built-up area of Spalding with several visitor and employment destinations."
Both projects will also involve a complete rebuild of the roundabouts' drainage systems, along with new surfacing, signs, lines, and lighting columns. These challenges included land acquisition and planning permission requirements, which could result in the funding deadline passing before the money could be utilised.
"Including signalised crossings on the A16 would hinder traffic flow, which goes against the bid's objectives for this project."
