Work has commenced on creating an additional exit from the Science Park onto Kirby Corner Road. This new, left turn only exit will support those exiting the Science Park towards Gibbet Hill Road, avoiding Lynchgate Road and reducing congestion in that area.

The City Council are undertaking the works which are due to complete before the start of term, but will involve work on the main carriageway of Kirby Corner Road on the weekend of 16 and 17 September. There will be a local road diversion in place during this weekend, but access to Westwood Campus and all Kirby Corner Road frontages will not be affected.
