Pershore infrastructure improvement scheme

Pershore infrastructure improvement scheme

Information on the scheme to upgrade the links between Pershore town centre and the A44.

There were a number of transport issues just outside Pershore which were causing poor journey time reliability and congestion. The A44 was not performing to its intended capacity and knock on effects had further impacts on the road network as a whole. For example:

  • increasing congestion along Station Road and use of Station Road by heavy goods vehicles accessing Keytec Business Park
  • the B4084 remains busy as people are choosing to drive through Pershore to avoid delays at Pinvin

The South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) recognised that high levels of development were need to be supported by improvements to the road network to support increased traffic flows..

The proposal

To tackle these issues, a number of works were proposed to upgrade the links between Pershore town centre and the A44. This comprised of three key scheme elements:

  • The construction of a Northern Link Road
  •  Enhancement to the A44 Pinvin Crossroads
  • Improvements to signalisation of A4104 Station Road and B4083 Wyre Road junction
     
    • This signalised junction was constructed by Persimmon Homes to enable a safe and easier passage for vehicles and pedestrians. 
      To read more about the Persimmon Homes work on the junction, please download Persimmon Homes Public Exhibition leaflet.

Engagement

Public engagement sessions were held during November and December of 2017 and an Engagement Report was produced which details the feedback received and the proposed recommendations following the feedback.
