What is Connecting Derby?

Connecting Derby is a Government-funded integrated transport project which aims to improve transport links in and around the city centre for people who live, work or visit the city.

The first phase of the project was completed in 2004. It removed unnecessary traffic from Victoria Street and Albert Street, leaving the centre free for buses, taxis, cyclist, pedestrians and vehicles which needed to make deliveries.

On St Alkmund's Way, a new traffic signal junction with Cathedral Road has allowed easier access to car parking in Bold Lane and St James's Street.

Now the project is entering its next phase. To find out the latest news, go to The Latest News Page.
