Inchinnan Cycleway

Tender description

To construct upgraded and new footways/cycleways on Greenock Road from the roundabout of Greenock Road and Inchinnan Drive, heading east via the traffic signal junction of Old Greenock Road and Greenock Road and terminating at the currently under constructed toucan crossing on Greenock Road immediately prior to the Black Cart Water bridge. The scheme length is 1.8km, with new shared footway/cycleway provision up to four metres wide all constructed within the existing public road boundary of Greenock Road and Old Greenock Road. As part of the Employer’s plan to develop active travel throughout Paisley, the Employer intends to improve existing Non-Motorised User (NMU) travel provision and provide new footways/cycleways located along Greenock Road. The scheme length is 1.8km, commencing at Inchinnan Drive Roundabout, heading east, where it ties in with the Black Cart Cycle Bridge. This procurement process is to enable the appointment of a suitably experienced Contractor to undertake works that involve the widening out of the eastbound existing footway provision to form a series of shared and separated footways & cycleways along the scheme length. Thus, facilitating improved and safer active travel provision between Inchinnan Business Park to the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) area. To enable this, the existing carriageway will be narrowed, and the speed limit reduced from 50mph to 40mph along Greenock Road.
