Low kerbs designed to narrow the carriageway and make drivers slow down are being removed

A major road through Sheffield city centre will be closed to vehicles for up to three weeks to remove some kerbs.

Workers are digging up newly-laid asphalt on a three-way junction at Tenter Street, Broad Lane and Townhead Street.

Low kerbs designed to narrow the carriageway and make drivers slow down are being removed, The Star understands.

A major roundabout there was removed last year during construction of a two-way bike lane to the Dutch Roundabout at West Bar.

Drivers coming down Broad Lane are being diverted up Garden Street, next to Butlers Balti House. Cyclists are unaffected.
