About the scheme
The Morlaix Drive scheme has enabled better bus access to Derriford Hospital and works towards improving reliability for bus services in the north of the city, complementing the nearby Derriford Hospital Interchange as well as the Marjon Link Road.
Improvements include widening the road to allow for a constant flow of two-way traffic, including buses, and an upgrade of the existing narrow footway to a shared pedestrian and cycle path. The junction of Morlaix Drive with Brest Road was amended to operate under traffic lights and the northbound Brest Road entry on to Derriford Roundabout for use by buses, cyclists and emergency vehicles only. Pedestrian crossing facilities were also be upgraded as part of the project.
Work began in January 2022 and completed in early 2023.
