Plusha Junction safety upgrades face scrutiny in Cornwall
National Highways has announced a £9.8 million safety upgrade scheme for several junctions along the A30 in Cornwall, including the Plusha Junction. The project, which includes £8 million specifically for safety measures, is expected to last six months and aims to reduce the frequency of serious and fatal collisions in the area.
While an interim barrier scheme was installed last year to prevent right turns across the dual carriageway, local concerns have been raised regarding the effectiveness of the new plans. Some residents have advocated for the construction of a flyover to allow for right turns without navigating multiple lanes of traffic. Cornwall Councillor Adrian Parsons has also questioned whether the proposed improvements represent the most effective use of funds, noting the significant traffic congestion experienced by locals during peak periods.
