Kingsclere Road Crossing Improvements

Improving accessibility, promoting healthier lifestyle choices and making it pleasant for all that travel through the South View area.

Last update: September 2026

Scheme completed July 2026

Hampshire County Council appointed M Group, to undertake the highway improvement works on Kingsclere Road, Basingstoke.  Please see the before and after visuals.

The works involved the construction of a new parallel crossing, located between Fullbrook Drive and Lancaster Road. Traffic calming features were installed on Kingsclere Road on the approaches to the crossing to reduce traffic speeds. Various other improvements have been completed locally, including streetlighting upgrades, a new bus shelter and footway resurfacing.   

Scheme Overview

The Chapel Hill development is located south of Kingsclere Road, just northwest of Basingstoke town centre. A transport assessment supporting the planning application for this development showed that an additional crossing point over Kingsclere Road is needed. This crossing will make it easier for people to move between the development and the South View area, including getting to local schools and shops.  

The scheme will deliver this crossing point, in the form of a parallel crossing which gives priority to pedestrians and cycle users crossing the road.  The crossing will be located between Fullbrook Drive and Lancaster Road, and will provide improved connectivity on existing routes within the local active travel network.  Please view the location plan.

This proposal supports Hampshire County Council’s Local Transport Plan 4 (LTP4), which aims to improve accessibility and connectivity in the region.

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.
