SUMMARY

The A40 Innsworth Gateway Scheme, which includes the improvement and construction of roundabouts and roads around Innsworth, was awarded £4.53m in Growth Deal funding in 2017.
 

What is the A40 Innsworth Gateway Scheme?

 

Often referred to as the ‘Innsworth Gateway Project’, this is a programme of improvements to roundabouts and roads around the village of Innsworth in Gloucester. 

The project will improve capacity of the A40 Longford Roundabout, and build a new roundabout on the A40 Gloucester Northern Bypass, to enable the construction of thousands of new homes in Innsworth and Twigworth.

A new access road will also be constructed, connecting the new roundabout to Innsworth Lane. All of these improvements seek to reduce delays along the A40 corridor.

 

Who benefits from this project?

The developments at Innsworth Gateway (1,300 dwellings) and Twigworth (725 dwellings) will contribute towards the Joint Core Strategy housing target. Capacity improvements at Longford roundabout also aim to improve journey times on the A40 and aims to reduce the number and severity of vehicle collisions especially at Longford Roundabout, which has seen a cluster of collisions in the past five years.

What stage is the project currently at?

The Innsworth Gateway project began in 2019, and will be completed in 2021.

 

Why is the project important for Gloucestershire and the local community?

The A40 is one of the busiest roads in Gloucestershire, and this project’s capacity improvements at Longford Roundabout aim to improve journey times for commuters in the region. This development also aims to reduce the number and severity of vehicle collisions in the area, particularly at Longford Roundabout.

 

With more than 2,000 new homes being built, it will also facilitate the growth of the housing market for local residents.

 

 

What are the final results of the project?

This project will deliver:

- Capacity improvements for the A40 Longford Roundabout

- New construction of a roundabout on A40 Gloucester Northern Bypass

- New construction of an access road connecting Innsworth Lane

- New construction of 1,300 dwellings at Innsworth Gateway

- New construction of 725 dwellings at Twigworth

As well as relieving traffic in the area, these developments will contribute to the Joint Core Strategy housing target.
