Technical requirements: A very busy roundabout and major access route into the centre of Gloucester off the M5, the Elmbridge Court roundabout is in need of redevelopment to improve its capacity. The proposed re-design of the roundabout will provide additional lanes on the approaches to the roundabout, 24 hour traffic signals of all arms except 2 (Cheltenham Road East and Elmbridge Court egress) and the construction of a ‘straight on’ 2 lane 1 way link through the roundabout from the westbound carriageway of the A40 Golden Valley Bypass to the A40 Gloucester Northern Bypass known as a ‘hamburger lane’. All approaches to the roundabout will be widened. Widening of the A40 Golden Valley to 5 lanes on its westbound approach will take place on the northern side of the carriageway necessitating the need to extend 2 pedestrian subways and a culvert and the construction of 2 gabion retaining walls. All works will take place within the existing highway boundary without the need for land from third parties.
The proposed procurement route will be an Open Procedure using the NEC3 ECC form of Contract, Option A Priced Contract with Activity Schedule.
— Construction of a lane through the roundabout between the A40 Golden Valley Bypass and the A40 Gloucester Northern Bypass.
— Introduction of 24 hour signals on all approaches to the roundabout (apart from Cheltenham Road East and Elmbridge Court egress).
— New carriageway — full construction to widen the existing carriageway and to replace the central reserve, plus a new carriageway through the roundabout.
— Widening of the embankment to support the new carriageway construction along the A40 Golden Valley eastbound carriageway.
— North side of A40 Golden Valley Bypass beneath the widened eastbound carriageway of the A40 Golden Valley Bypass.
