In just over a week, stars of world cycling will return to South Yorkshire, as the third stage of Britain’s biggest professional cycle race is set to kick off in Sheffield on Thursday 5 September.
A series of overnight diversions will be in place for the next three weeks on a section of Sheffield Parkway as essential work takes place to repair bridges at the Handsworth Road interchange.
The installation of pedestrian crossings, the extension of dedicated cycle routes and upgraded bus stops are among the proposals for the Road network around one of the most historic areas of Sheffield.
Enforcement powers designed to help increase the number of drivers complying with the rules of the road, improve road safety and tackle congestion issues in the city were granted to the city in January 2023. A new report at the Council’s Waste and Street Scene Committee on 13th March will ask the committee to approve how they will be applied.
Sheffield is changing, it’s transforming into a cleaner, greener and more thriving city. As part of those plans, several new transport projects are taking shape aimed at giving people a choice with how the travel around.
