Peterborough Station Quarter - planned works

Plan ahead

Journey times may be affected during the works around Peterborough Railway Station. However, we’ll be doing everything we can to keep delays to a minimum.

Residents and visitors are urged to plan ahead and allow more time for journeys on routes which may be busier than normal.

We will work together with our partners to ensure that any disruption to motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, local businesses and wider residents is communicated clearly and ahead of schedule.

Work is ongoing around the station to deliver the new and improved gateway to the city.

Planned works and latest updates

Keep up-to-date with the latest works and updates that may affect your journey:

The Queensgate roundabout will remain operational throughout the project with all entrances and exits still in place. However, the lanes available on the roundabout will be reduced to a single lane. This is to give highway operatives space to complete the works safely.

There will also be some full closures of Queensgate roundabout planned throughout the course of the project. These will be overnight to reduce disruption for motorists:

Overnight on Sunday 5 July 2026 from 7pm to 6am
Overnight closures in spring / summer 2027 (to be confirmed nearer the time)

Please see map further down this page to view the layout.

Peterborough Railway Station

From Monday 29 June 2026, the capacity of the main station car park will be reduced by 111 spaces around the Priority Parking area. Please allow extra time for parking and consider using Mayor’s Walk or Spittle Bank car parks.

The short stay car park and drop off zone will remain open. Taxis and vehicles will be able to continue to use the route around the car park and entrance and exit as normal.

Queensgate

All Queensgate car parks will remain open.

Walking

The subway system will be closed from Monday 6 July 2026. Two diversion routes have been set up:

A route to the railway station around the roundabout from Thorpe Road, via the Priestgate entrance and across Bourges Boulevard.
A dedicated walk-through across the station car park to the station.
