Description

The A38/A4019 junction improvements works are located at the junction of the A38 with the A4019 west of M5 Junction 10 at Coombe Hill.

This scheme is part of the M5 Junction 10 Portfolio which Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) obtained Housing Infrastructure funds for from Homes England. The Scheme comprises improvements to the existing junction of the A38 and A4019 at Coombe Hill, consisting of the replacement of the existing left turn lane from the A38 onto the A4019 with a longer signal controlled left turn lane, and improved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

GCC are looking for a Principal Contractor to deliver the construction phase of this scheme.

Summary of Construction Phase key deliverables are as follows:
the diversion of existing utilities affected by the Scheme;
widening the existing carriageway to accommodate longer turning lanes;
constructing new traffic islands;
widening the existing footways to provide unsegregated shared use path for pedestrians/cyclists and constructing a new segregated footway/cycleway;
installing new traffic signals (including controller) and vehicle/non-motorised user traffic counter sensors;
installing new lighting columns;
overlaying the existing carriageways and resurfacing the existing footways;
installing new road markings and traffic signs;
construction of an attenuation basin to the south of the A4019 within an agricultural field. A new field access point into the field will also be created; and
