Chapelhall’s main road will be transformed next month with the removal of its controversial chicanes – with the area’s councillors saying opinion on the traffic-calming measure has been divided during the two years they have been in place.
Work begins on July 5 to replace the chicanes at Woodhall Street and Bo’ness Road with speed tables, after the former were found not to be reducing speeds on the busy route and 95 per cent of online survey respondents called for them to be removed.
North Lanarkshire Council officials are unable to confirm the cost of the upgrading project due to “commercial sensitivity”. The new roadworks are taking place less than two years after the chicanes were installed in October 2019.
