Sherford Road – Traffic Calming Project
Work on the Sherford Road Traffic Calming project is due to begin on Monday 13 April 2026, with completion expected approximately 14 weeks later.
The works are a planning requirement for Sherford, designed to create a safer road connecting the existing and new communities. They include a new mini roundabout, improvements to the Gemini Road junction, a permanent pedestrian and cycle path, and changes to road layout and signage.
Road closures and diversions will be in place during the works. The resident letter below sets out the full detail of each phase, the diversion route, and what to expect. Maps showing the closures and diversions are also available to download.

Utilities Works and Road Closures
Preparation work is taking place throughout June to enable a South West Water connection point to be made. This will require a short road closure:
- 5th – 9thJune. Wiverton lane, exact location here on what3words: https://w3w.co/deeds.rice.circus
These dates have been chosen to limit disruption for residents and businesses in the area, and works will be completed as quickly as possible.
In the final weeks of June, utilities installation will also take place from Phase 2D through to the Business Park, with gas, electric and water connections being laid. Temporary traffic lights will be in place, and some disruption should be expected, particularly where the installation crosses the road.
The Consortium will operate a rolling traffic management system and will avoid peak times wherever possible to keep delays to a minimum.
Phase 1 Road Completion Works
Completion works are due to take place across several streets over the coming months, involving block paving, kerb replacements, raising ironwork and laying of the final wearing course to roads and footpaths. The main streets affected will be Buzzard Way, Rose Way, Strawberry Lane, Primrose Drive, Aquila Drive and Sycamore Way, though works will also extend to other streets to some degree. Traffic diversions will be put in place where necessary, and disruption will be kept to a minimum throughout.
As part of this programme, final wearing course application is scheduled to take place on Buzzard Way, Pigeon Lane, Primrose Drive and Rose Way on 21 June and 1 July (weather permitting).
Residents on these streets are asked to ensure all vehicles are cleared from the road and driveways on the relevant working days to allow tarmac works to proceed. Alternative routes and diversions will be put in place as necessary. The Consortium apologises for any inconvenience caused during this period.
