Last update: March 2025

Hampshire County Council appointed Rocon Construction Ltd to carry out the footway improvements on A31 Winchester Road between Bishop’s View and Prince’s Place.

Footway improvements included widening the existing footway, adding a new section of footway between Bishop’s View and the Travelodge, pedestrian improvements across the Travelodge access and providing a crossing point on the east side of Travelodge entrance. Localised footway widening was also undertaken on the south side of the A31.  Please view the location and improvements plan.

Works completed on the West Gate Phase 1 and 2. Please see the before and after visuals.

Scheme overview
To make it easier for people in Four Marks village to get from the north side to the south side, which are separated by the A31 Winchester Road, the scheme proposal would include several improvements to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility in the area. These improvements would consist of uncontrolled crossings, widening sections of the pavements to ensure safe and accessible pedestrian routes, and initiatives to encourage walking and promote a healthier lifestyle.

West Gateway - Phase 1

Footway Extension: Widening and extending the pavement between Bishop’s View and Prince’s Place. Widening on the south side of A31 Winchester Road.
Travelodge Access: A continuous pavement will be constructed at the entrance to  the Travelodge.
New Uncontrolled Crossing: An uncontrolled crossing will be added to the east side of the Travelodge.
Road Markings: will be refreshed along the length of the Western end of A31.

Works Completed.

West Gateway - Phase 2
Bus Layby: The existing bus layby will be utilised to widen the pavement on the southern side of the A31. The bus stop will be relocated to an on-road stop.
Uncontrolled Crossing: This will be added to the western side of  the Travelodge entrance to provide access to the bus stop on the southern side.

Works Completed.
Funding Arrangements
Funding for the transport capital delivery schemes is separate from the County Council’s revenue budget and savings proposals. In the majority of cases funding comes from external grants and / or Section 106 contribution from developers. This funding usually has conditions that strictly control on how, where and when it can be spent.
