Black Dog Way and London Road walking and cycling improvements

Construction is scheduled to begin on 9 February at the Black Dog Way junction. A Meet the Contractor event took place on Wednesday 4 February 2026 from 10am – 6pm at Gloucester Heritage Hub, Clarence Row, Alvin Street, Gloucester GL1 3DW.

The first few weeks of construction will involve reduced lane widths on approaches to the junction. From the start of the project, turning right from London Road onto Black Dog Way will no longer be available and this change will remain in place permanently. This measure is essential to maintaining junction capacity, improving traffic flow and protecting priority for buses and emergency vehicles.

Indicative construction phasing plans are available here.

Northgate and Southgate Street

We’re pleased to share that most of the improvements in Phase 1 are now complete, making the city centre more accessible and enjoyable for cyclists and pedestrians.

There are just a few finishing touches left:

On Northgate Street, some imprinted tarmac areas remain unpainted. This is due to the need for warmer temperatures for the surface paint to be applied. We’ll monitor conditions and aim to complete this work in late spring, when temperatures are suitable.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation throughout the works. We hope you’re already enjoying the improved facilities and look forward to delivering the final touches soon.

Please be aware that jumping the red lights at the temporary traffic light locations will trigger all other lights at the junction to default to red as a safety measure. To avoid additional delays and maintain safety we encourage all road users not to go through on the red light.
