Willenhall cycleway - ASDA roundabout

We are improving connectivity between the city centre and the area by Coventry Airport, where the West Midlands Green Power Park is located.

These improvements will benefit pedestrians and cyclists, whilst also encouraging through traffic on to roads like the A45 and A444 rather than residential roads.

Improvements are being delivered in phases. We completed work at the Abbey Road junction last year and we are currently installing a section of segregated cycleway along London Road, between Abbey Road and ASDA roundabout, this should be completed by the end of May.

We plan to make improvements for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers at ASDA roundabout.

These improvements, shown below, include:

  • pavement widening and new crossings on all arms of the roundabout and dedicated cycle crossings, separate from both pedestrians and vehicles making it easier to cross the road. All crossings will have tactile paving
  • new landscaping and tree planting
  • new Toucan crossings for pedestrians and cyclists
  • upgraded lighting future phases of work will include completing the cycleway from Tollbar along London Road and into Humber Road, where it joins the existing Binley cycleway which then provides a route into the city centre.

We have started to design these sections and earlier this year we asked your thoughts on the improvements planned for the ASDA roundabout.

We asked what you thought of these plans last year. You can see the consultation report, and the ASDA roundabout feedback responses.
