Ferensway closure

In a revamp costing £2.5 million, the road will be made more pedestrian-friendly, with easier access for wheelchair users. The closure will also enable work on the £200 million St Stephen’s development to be carried out safely and quickly.

Keeping traffic moving
Hull City Council will keep traffic moving throughout the sixmonth closure. Here’s how:

Car users
The road network will be monitored by CCTV - and traffic information will be relayed to local radio stations every ten minutes during peak hours.

Also, an intelligent traffic-signal control system will manage traffic queues at the lights during peak hours.

Using alternative routes
Diversions for HGVs and out-of-town traffic will be clearly signposted via Castle Street, Great Union Street and Freetown Way (see map).

Using Public Transport
City centre visitors and workers are being encouraged to plan journeys, consider working more flexible hours, use public transport, park and ride, or car share.

Travelling by bike
There are 66 miles of cycle routes in the city. For a copy of the Hull cycle map, call Hull Connect 300300 or download it from the council website at www.hullcc.gov.uk
