Nailstone Colliery - B585 junction improvements

The scheme will help to reduce congestion, provide improved transport links and manage the extra travel demand created by the new country park development. The project involves improving junctions linking the B585 with the A511 North.

It will: 

  • provide traffic signal controls at the junction of B585 Victoria Road with C5112 Ellistown Terrace Road/B585 Station Road
  • ​create a new roundabout at the junction of B585 Station Road/C5112 Station Road with B585 Wood Road and
  • introduce traffic calming measures on Bagworth Road to help reduce vehicle speeds approaching Nailstone village from the east. 

The scheme is being funded by the developer Far Housing Holdings (FAR) and delivered by the county council.

Further information and updates including advanced notice of traffic management changes will be provided throughout the delivery of the scheme via this website. Updates will also be available by following the council on Twitter @LeicsCountyHall

Below is a schedule of works or road closures due to take place (subject to weather conditions).

From 27 November (for 3 weeks): Station Road, Bagworth will be closed at its junction with Wood Road for three weeks to allow for the installation of new traffic signals and a roundabout.
