Not much thought there. Tamar link would have been better or Cornwall. Never the less looks quite smart. Who can be the first to photograph it.

I know the whole junction Marjon / Derriford is being re-worked which has to be a good thing (but will be chaos while its being done!) I cant see that it will mean too much ground loss from Marjon though. <br />didbygrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858408719372985035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-37133151927654777202013-06-02T22:32:48.109+01:002013-06-02T22:32:48.109+01:00Where exactly is this 'link road' going to...Where exactly is this 'link road' going to fit in?<br /><br />I would presume Marjon - Derriford means it'll be a widening of one way lane that runs down from the sports centre to Derriford main entrance. Thus meaning a dog leg along Plymbridge Lane to get to Runway Road and the George junction, and also the loss of some land from Marjon's to widen the road?Plymothianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248948976442668300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-83768558985471517642013-06-01T23:40:57.776+01:002013-06-01T23:40:57.776+01:00As much as I am pro bus / public transport, I can&...As much as I am pro bus / public transport, I can't help thinking that the DoT would be better investing the initial £1m (and more of the available money)in re-surfacing some of the truly shocking road surfaces on existing roads in the city - this would improve journeys for everyone including users of public transport, the existing infrastructure needs sorting before building new. Having said that, if we are talking "pinch points" then the major "pinch point" that needs sorting in Plymouth is the A386 from the George Hotel to Woolwell Roundabout - this is crying out to be converted to dual carriageway. This would benefit many more people than the scheme suggested in this article. The last improvement scheme at the George merely succeeded in moving the traffic chaos a few hundred yards along the road!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
