Interserve is set to start work on two infrastructure improvements projects worth over £28 million in Hull.
The contractor will start work to deliver the £22.3 million Princes Quay Bridge in October, as well as carrying out £6m worth of improvements at Roger Millward Way roundabout.
The new bridge, linking the marina with the southern end of Princes Dock, will improve access and make it easier for pedestrians, cyclists and disabled users to cross the A63. At Roger Millward Way, an extra lane will be added through the middle of the roundabout and additional traffic signals will help to reduce congestion and smooth the flow of traffic.
Highways England senior project manager, James Leeming, said: "It's great news that we'll be starting work on these two key schemes. The bridge has been designed to allow further development around the waterfront and is an important part of Hull's plans for the future.
"We're carrying out these schemes together under one contractor to minimise disruption and to make the best use of the funds available.
"While both the bridge and Roger Millward Way roundabout improvements are being built, we'll have narrower lanes and a reduced speed limit in place."
A public event will be held on 13 September to give people the chance to view plans for both the schemes. The event will take place from 10am – 7.30pm at Hull Marina Holiday Inn.
Mr Leeming added: "We want the public to come along to the event and look at what we are doing. There will be the chance to see how the traffic will be managed and how access for pedestrians will be maintained during construction."
The bridge is expected to be finished by early 2020 and work on Roger Millward Way is expected to take around nine months to complete.
