Yunex Traffic has been awarded a contract to supply traffic signals for the new Preston Western Distributor Road (PWDR).
Due to open in early 2023, the new road will link the A583/A584 to a new junction on the M55 via a 4km dual carriageway, with link roads to new housing areas at Cottam and North West Preston.
Working with Costain, the project’s main contractor, Yunex Traffic will supply a range of equipment, including its ST950 ELV traffic signals, at 11 locations along the route, as well as both intersection and pedestrian crossing signals.
Wilke Reints, managing director for Yunex Traffic in the UK, said: “We’re delighted to be working with our colleagues at Costain to deliver the most advanced technology to optimise traffic flow on this important road.
“It will not only bring major travel improvements to those who live, work and study in the area but it will also make this road segment safer for all road users including pedestrians and cyclists.”
