A38 Derby junctions
The A38 is an important route from Birmingham to Derby and through to the M1 at junction 28. Where it passes through Derby, long distance traffic interacts with a large volume of vehicles making local journeys causing congestion and delays.
Project information
To make journeys smoother for motorists, we have identified the following 3 existing roundabout junctions which require upgrades to the west and north of Derby city centre:
- A38/A5111 Kingsway roundabout
- A38/A52 Markeaton roundabout
- A38/A61 Little Eaton roundabout
After delivering improvement schemes at Little Eaton and Markeaton roundabouts in 2014/2015 to reduce congestion in the short term, we have been developing longer term plans to resolve the traffic problems more permanently.
The Government’s strategic vision for the road network is to make journeys better in the Midlands by operating, maintaining and improving major A roads and motorways, through a programme of investment to ensure that the region’s roads are fit for now and the future. The specific objectives of the A38 Derby Junctions scheme are to:
- reduce congestion and improve the reliability of journey times between Birmingham, Derby and the M1
- help facilitate regional development and growth in Derby City and its surrounding
- improve safety for all road users, and for those people living near the junctions
- connect people by maintaining existing facilities (eg crossings and ramps etc) or providing new means for cyclists, pedestrians and disabled users to cross the road
