Speed cushions on Elmfield Road
We are due to start delivering a new traffic calming scheme on Elmfield Road. Three pairs of speed cushions will be installed on Elmfield Road close to the junction with Central Avenue.
The works are programmed to start on the 22 July 2024 and expected to finish on the 16 August 2024. The works will be delivered by Milestone Infrastructure Limited, Peterborough City Council's highways partner.
Speed cushions are an effective tool for reducing the speeds of domestic vehicles whilst limiting the impact on larger transport such as buses and emergency service vehicles. There are a number of locations in the city where speed cushions have had a positive effect on reducing vehicle speeds and associated road traffic accidents.
Road closures and diversion route
Road closures will be required in order to provide sufficient working space to deliver the works safely.
- Garton End Road and Elmfield Road will be closed between its junctions with Newark Avenue and Central Avenue from 22 to 30 July.
- Elmfield Road will be closed between Dogsthorpe Road and Central Avenue between 31 July and and 16 August.
Diversions will be signed on site and access will be maintained for residents. Please see maps and diversion route documents below.
