Commercial Street Improvement Works
Work is to begin on Monday (August 28) to improve a major city centre junction to enhance pedestrian safety and make the area more attractive.
The refurbishment is part of the City Centre Strategic Investment Plan, which is designed to make Dundee’s centre a better and safer place for everyone.
Changes at the Commercial Street/Murraygate junction will begin with footway closures from Monday. A full road closure will start on Monday September 11, with diversions in place for buses and taxis authorised to use the section of road.
The new scheme will enhance and extend the existing shared surface across Commercial Street into Murraygate, which will clearly define that this an area where pedestrians have priority.
The carriageway of Commercial Street at the Murraygate junction will be transformed into a single lane with traffic going from Seagate towards Meadowside given priority.
Fair Work, Economic Growth and Infrastructure convener Councillor Steven Rome explained: “We want to make the environment a more attractive one for locals and visitors alike and the work will help to deliver a safer and more accessible city centre.
“I am very pleased to see how we are taking the City Centre Strategic Investment Plan forward with projects like this one.”
The £400,000 initiative was approved earlier this year.
