00:01Work to upgrade to Sunderland Roads is expected to start by summer after nearly £5m in funding
00:08was approved. Durham Road and Chester Road will see improvements including a new crossing on
00:13Hastings Hill Roundabout, a pedestrian crossing near Sunderland College's Beed campus and better
00:19access to bus stops. Plans for bus lanes were rejected after a consultation. Cabinet member
00:25Lindsay Leonard says the focus is enhancing safety, accessibility and infrastructure. Both
00:31routes will get improved paving, road markings and updated bus shelters. Changes will also help
00:37traffic turning into Springwell Road. The funding comes from the North East Combined Authority from
00:42Sunderland.
