Description:
The ‘Active Travel Link’ project between Saundersfoot Railway Station and Valley Road continues, with works programmed to be completed by the end of May/June. <br/>The link along Station Road will have the final uncontrolled MUR crossing constructed, enabling connectivity to the MUR path that is within the remodelled junction. <br/>All clearance works have been completed on Fan Road/Station Road junction, with the temporary road surface installed during a recent road closure. <br/>“I have had complaints regarding pot holes and sunken drains on Fan Road, and when the road was shut recently, there were extensive repairs on the left hand side heading to The Ridgeway,” said county councillor for the seaside village’s south ward Cllr Chris Williams.<br/>“Other works were programmed and completed included verge reshaping works and edge of carriageway reconstruction.<br/>“Works to the junction area currently are focused on fencing and landscaping with trees and native species, alongside minor drainage works and the installation of the uncontrolled crossing noted previously.”<br/>A further road closure for Fan Road is due to commence on the week of May 13 to oversee the installation of a ’priority system’ to form a traffic calming feature and to reassign carriageway space.<br/>The status of the central Fan Road work, near the pond, has advanced to allow for the new path final construction.<br/>The subsequent fencing and path construction works will be completed alongside the final connecting section of MUR, which links to the substantially completed works at Bonville’s Court. <br/>These works are programmed for completion in June when the link will be operational.<br/>“Other Active Travel project works within the village are being considered,” continued Cllr Williams. <br/>“These are all part of a strategic corridor which will eventually provide a network of MUR facilities between Tenby, Penally and to the west Saundersfoot, Wisemans Bridge linking into existing National Cycle Network facilities. <br/>“Feasibility works from the village centre to Stammers Road and along Sandy Hill Road are being developed. <br/>“These proposals will be shared by the highways team in due course, alongside improvements to Milford Street/Cambrian Terrace and the mini roundabout junction.<br/>“Studies are ongoing to connect the primary school at Frances Lane to Frances Road, Coppet Hall and Wisemans Bridge. <br/>“Further upgrade works between Valley Road and the village centre along Brooklands Place are to be programmed to complete the active travel connection to Saundersfoot Railway Station,” he added.<br/>
