People's views sought on £156m roundabout revamp
Residents, businesses, schools, and community groups are being asked to share their views on a £156m revamp of a roundabout "at the heart of Plymouth's transport network". Plans for Manadon roundabout, which links the A38 and Tavistock Road, feature wider roundabout entrances, bus priority lanes, and new cycle and pedestrian bridges. The transformation of "under-used green space" off Treveneague Gardens is also in the plans, said Plymouth City Council. "If we do nothing, congestion will worsen as the city continues to grow, queues will extend dangerously onto the A38, and access to key places like Derriford Hospital, Plymouth Argyle matches and the dockyard will be harder than ever."

Upgrade of busy interchange gets £13.3m in funding The work at Manadon Roundabout is not expected to start until 2028 A "major overhaul" at a key interchange in Plymouth has received further funding from the Department of Transport. An additional £13.3m will be added to the Manadon Roundabout scheme's £156m total, of which £133m has come from government funding. Councillor Mark Coker, cabinet member for transport at Plymouth City Council, said: "Improvements to Manadon are well-overdue so I'm delighted that we have got to this crucial stage of the process." Designs for the upgraded interchange include new junctions, crossings and a different layout, as well as segregated cycle lanes and improved pedestrian paths.
