Will the Minister provide an update on the traffic light installation at the Nash Fingerpost junction?
I can confirm that the electricity power supply has been connected on site by National Grid to the newly installed feeder pillar in readiness for the new traffic signals at A477, Nash Fingerpost junction.
We are continuing to finalise the street lighting and traffic signals design, along with the environmental, active travel engineering solutions and road safety audits as part of the design process.
The temporary speed limit traffic order process has been completed and new temporary signs for the reduced speed limit for 40mph are now in place on approach to the junction. The permanent speed limit order process is underway and is being progressed. In addition, new give way signing has now been installed on the A4075 county side road approaching the junction.
Our intention is to achieve substantial completion of the new measures, including the installation of permanent traffic signals, by the end of July 2024.
