A540 Raby Park Road junction improvements

Background

This scheme has been in development for a number of years following a fatal accident at the junction.

An action group, A54Zero, was set-up to push for improvements at this junction and the Council has been working closely with them. Road safety concerns will be addressed by widening the existing highway to install additional traffic signals, including a controlled pedestrian crossing on every leg of the junction and modifications to the street lighting systems.

Latest update

Before any work could take place a land purchase was needed, which took longer than expected. However, detailed designs and contract drawings for the scheme were completed and work has now started on the junction improvements.

Further updates will appear on this page.

The map below shows the safety improvements that will take place at the junction of the A540 Raby Park Road / Chester High Road in Neston. Verges and footways are shown in green and beige, with kerbs edges shown as a blue line. The location of signage is also included.
