Phase 1 works on Narrowcliffe about to start

Cormac will soon be starting work on Narrowcliff in Newquay, the first of two improvement schemes forming part of the Mid Cornwall Metro Active Travel project.

Cormac has been appointed as contractor for this project. They will be setting up the site from Monday 6^th January 2025 and are due to complete this phase of work at the end of March 2025.

The enhancements will begin with the removal of the centre island on Cliff Road at the Edgcumbe Avenue junction. This will allow for the footway from Rocklands back to the pedestrian crossing adjacent to Ulalia Road, to be widened to allow for walking and cycling. The existing granite kerb stones will be removed and set aside for re-use on a later phase of the project, the carriageway narrowed, then resurfaced and road markings installed. A new island will be installed within the Edgcumbe Avenue junction itself, to prevent right turns.

A Cormac spokesperson said:

In order to provide a safe place to work for our team, three-way traffic lights will be in place on the Edgcumbe Avenue junction. Then later, two-way lights on Narrowcliff where we’ll be widening the footway as it joins the Barrowfields path. We do appreciate that this work will cause some short-term disruption for residents and commuters in the area. The lights will be manually operated during peak times and every effort will be made to keep traffic flowing and disruption to a minimum.
