Phase 2 works

Phase 2 consisted of three schemes (scheme 2a, 2b and 4) to make improvements along the A38 corridor in Bromsgrove.

The works included

  • a segregated footway/cycleway between Harvington Road and Charford Lane
  • an upgrade to the northern footpath on Charford Road between the A38 and South Bromsgrove School
  • the installation of a new Toucan Crossing

Funding to deliver the works for phase 2 has been provided by the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership.
