ROUTES in and out of Brighton are set to be improved thanks to a £600,000 project.
The Government funding will see major works to develop to the A2010 between West Street and Old Shoreham Road, including Queens Road, Surrey Street, Terminus Road, Buckingham Place, Bath Street to the Seven Dials roundabout and Dyke Road to the Old Shoreham Road junction.
The money, from the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Safer Roads Fund will be used to make improvements to the junction of Queen’s Road and North Road to address the safety issues for pedestrians waiting to cross.
This could include redesigning the junction, installing better traffic signals and pavement widening to make it safer to cross, according to the authority.

The fund could also consider introducing speed reduction measures at Terminus Road with other signing and lining improvements along the A2010.
Work is now underway on an initial design for the scheme which will be taken to the council’s Environment, Transport and Sustainability committee for approval.
If agreed, it’s hoped work would be able to start early next year.
