Fleming Way fully closes to traffic from Sunday, 4th September to allow for the next phase of the major upgrade of this gateway to the town centre.
Part of the £33M major upgrade, which will see the construction of a new bus interchange, vastly improved public open spaces and new cycle lane facilities that link up the main cycling routes across the town, the Fleming Way subway is to be removed to make the road the same level as the town centre shopping area and The Parade.
When the upgrade scheme is finished in autumn 2024, Fleming Way will be open to buses, taxis, cyclists and pedestrians. It will no longer be a route for private vehicles and through traffic.
Swindon Borough Council will be running two community drop-in sessions next week at The Community Hub (on The Parade):
- Tuesday, 9 August, 11am to 3pm
- Thursday, 11 August, 11am to 3pm
The £33 million projects costs of are being funded by the Future High Streets Fund – £25 million, Swindon Borough Council – £5 million and Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership Local Growth Fund – £3 million
