Delivering the project
Foot of the Walk to Ocean Terminal
Construction work to build the route and associated improvements along Great Junction Street, Henderson Street, Sandport Place and Dock Street commenced on 18 November 2024.
On Great Junction Street main works on the cycle track along the northern side of Great Junction Street are ongoing.
For some periods of work a gyratory system will be introduced on Henderson Street with northbound traffic access via Cables Wynd. Some parking and loading bays will be suspended in the area to allow for traffic management and safe access to the site. Temporary loading/unloading areas will be set up for deliveries. Exact dates and information about parking restrictions will be displayed on yellow signs before work begins.
We are working on Sandport Place Bridge where we will try to retain two way pedestrian and cycle access. Please pay attention to signage where appropriate.
Due to the nature of the work taking place in the road and along the pavements, some disruption is unfortunately unavoidable. We will work with you to reduce the impact as much as possible.
Please see below a summary of work areas and dates. Please note that dates are liable to change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Liveable neighbourhood
We started work on the scheme in April 2023. This first period of work included
- traffic filters to remove through motor vehicle traffic
- creation of new community spaces with planting and benches
- footway buildouts to help cross the streets
- new dropped crossings and tactile paving
- removal of street clutter.

Traffic operations
All streets are still accessible for local residents, deliveries, loading and emergency services.
A comprehensive monitoring and evaluation programme was undertaken alongside a statutory consultation period associated with these trial measures. All comments made are included in our report to Councillors at the Traffic Orders Sub-Committee in February 2025. At that committee a decision was made to make those measures permanent.
