A quiet street leads toward a modern sports centre entrance on a sunny day.

Pedestrian safety improvements are set to begin on Inglemire Lane, Hull, starting the week of Monday, 10 August. The six-week project focuses on enhancing walking infrastructure near the University of Hull’s Allam Sports Centre to better support students, local schools, and residents.

Project scope and traffic management

The scheme centers on the installation of a new pedestrian build-out on the southern side of Inglemire Lane. By extending the footway into the road, the council aims to reduce crossing distances and improve visibility for both pedestrians and motorists.

Work will be carried out in phases to manage traffic flow, though some disruption is expected throughout the construction period:

Feature	Impact/Status
Start Date	Week of 10 August 2026
Duration	Approximately six weeks
Northern Side	Footway closures for resurfacing
Southern Side	New pedestrian build-out construction
Traffic Flow	Temporary ‘give-and-take’ management

Impact on local travel

Councillor Mark Ieronimo, cabinet portfolio holder for transport and infrastructure, noted that the route is heavily used by those traveling to local schools and sports facilities. The project is a direct response to safety concerns raised by the local community, sports groups, and the University of Hull.

While the council has scheduled the most disruptive elements to coincide with the school summer holidays, road users should anticipate potential delays. The works are being delivered by Redevelop Civil Engineering on behalf of the council as part of a wider commitment to encourage Active Travel across the city. Residents are advised to plan for minor travel adjustments while the pedestrian infrastructure is upgraded.
