A project is being designed by Milestone Infrastructure Ltd for Peterborough City Council in collaboration with the Combined Authority to widen the north, east and south approaches to Junction 3 of the A1139.

There are also plans to add signals to the north and south approaches to create a fully signalised junction where there is currently a partially signalised one. Alongside this will be a new off-road cycle way on Phorpres Close and Phorpres Way.
