Fore has worked with Nota Bene Consulting to develop an outline business case for the Shalesmoor Gateway in Sheffield for submission to DfT as a Major Road Network scheme. Shalesmoor Gateway is a key junction at the north of Sheffield’s Inner Ring Road (IRR). The scheme would see the roundabout removed and replaced with traffic lights. This would allow free flow left turn movement, improving journey times and creating more space for public transport. The changes will enhance the environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

At the Rutland Road junction, the scheme includes a new Toucan style-controlled crossing which ties into existing cycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Widening on Rutland Road would facilitate both left and right turn movements onto the A61 for motor vehicles. This would provide more direct access to the benefit of the wider local network.

Fore’s work involved reviewing previous study findings, developing the scheme in consultation with stakeholders for the benefit of all modes, microsimulation modelling and economic appraisal as well as contributing to the business case document.
