SBF have agreed with Hampshire County Council to proceed with an upgrade to the underpass linking Segensworth East and West and to provide new pavements at Barnes Wallis Road and Brunel Way.

These improvements will offer a safe and sustainable means of walking and cycling access to Segensworth, through the extension of the existing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure within the Segensworth East and Segensworth West Estates.

The project will include:

Ø       the provision of a 2.5 metre wide bituminous surfaced shared pedestrian and cycle facility with street lighting along the existing track and public right of way between Little Park Farm Road in Segensworth West and the western end of Brunel Way in Segensworth East.

Ø       the provision of a 1.8 metre wide bituminous pedestrian footway along the north side of Barnes Wallis Road between Drummond Road and Brunel Way in Segensworth East.

Ø       the provision of a 1.8 metre wide bituminous footway along the south side of Brunel Way between Drummond Road and Barnes Wallis Road in Segensworth East.

 It is hoped to start work in July this year. More details will follow.
