A46 Riseholme roundabout improvements

The scheme has increased capacity and improve traffic flow at the A46 Riseholme roundabout.

As part of the project, an extra lane was added to the roundabout and new entrance and exit lanes were built.

In addition, the roundabout’s drainage system was rebuilt, new signs and lighting columns were installed and sections of the existing road were rebuilt to minimise future maintenance.
