Leicester City Council is planning a major redevelopment of the A50/FiveWays junction
A £10.4m programme of improvements to one of a city's most "confusing" junctions and its connecting roads is to get under way.
Existing car parking on verges close to the shops on Buckminster Road will be removed and new landscaping will also be introduced.The council said the initial phase of work is expected to take about six to eight weeks during which time a lane restriction will be required on part of Blackbird Road and Buckminster Road will be closed to through traffic.
This will involve removing the existing mini roundabout at the junction of Fosse Road North and Stephenson Road and replacing it with a signalised junction and widening the road to help provide a new bus-only lane on Fosse Road North on the approach to FiveWays junction. Details of future phases of work - which are due to begin in April - will be publicised nearer the time.
