Client: Nottingham City Council The Maid Marian Way improvement project in Nottingham is a significant urban development aimed at enhancing safety and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. The £12 million project involves replacing the existing roundabout at the junction of Maid Marian Way, Derby Road, and Upper Parliament Street with a signal-controlled T-junction. This change is designed to improve traffic flow and make crossing easier for pedestrians, while also creating new cycle facilities and planting 41 native trees around the junction, quadrupling the area's green space. This project, funded by the Future High Streets Fund, will also introduce a rain garden to manage stormwater sustainably. Services we provided Civil & Infrastructure Engineering Project, Cost & Commercial Management Transport Planning & Traffic Engineering Our Role BWB provided a comprehensive suite of services for West End Point, including the design of the general junction layout, highway alignment, and active travel elements. Our team’s initial master planning and subsequent detailed designs helped transform the junction into a more connected, pedestrian-friendly space. Masterplanning Our team’s initial master planning and subsequent detailed designs helped transform the junction into a more connected, pedestrian-friendly space. We also developed traffic models and simulations to assess the impact of the new scheme on traffic flow and pedestrian movement, enabling local authorities to approve the works. Project management Our involvement extended to project management and day-to-day coordination, ensuring that the project progressed on schedule and met all key milestones. We were also responsible for landscape design, creating a series of options that integrated green spaces with the new junction layout. Unchartered caves During construction, uncharted caves were discovered beneath the project site. Our team conducted site investigations and devised remedial works to stabilise the ground, allowing the project to continue with minimal disruption. Additionally, the project required detailed consultations with local bus operators to identify new stop locations and manage changes in traffic patterns.
