Consultation on A595 Greyhound Inn - Torpenhow Junction Improvement

Introduction

This consultation is to gather views on the further designs for the proposed improvement to the Greyhound Inn/ Torpenhow Junction on the A595 at Bothel. This forms part of a wider scheme to improve 5km of the A595 from Cock Bridge to Threapland Junction (A595 Bothel Strategic Improvement).

The Greyhound Inn/Torpenhow junction will change from an existing crossroads into a staggered priority junction with ghost islands.

This will allow traffic to wait at the ghost islands before turning right into the minor roads. This will improve the flow of traffic as well as the general safety for all road users. This alteration to the Greyhound Inn/ Torpenhow Junction as well as lowering the existing height of the Torpenhow Road and a section of the A595 will improve forward visibility from each of the side roads. We are keen to understand the views of local people and road users - please complete this short survey before 27 January 2021.
