Hampshire County Council is planning over 100 transport improvement projects across the county in the coming year to make everyday journeys safer, greener, and easier for everyone.

From new cycle paths and safer road crossings, including near schools, to better bus routes and upgraded rail and bus stations, these projects are part of the County Council’s long-term plan to create a transport system that supports local communities, protects the environment, and helps people live healthier lives.

Funding for these improvements comes from a mix of sources, including Government grants, developer contributions, and support from local councils.

Councillor Nick Adams-King, Leader of Hampshire County Council, said: “Ensuring Hampshire continues to thrive and prosper is our number one priority – to support a vibrant economy while enhancing the natural environment and improving outcomes for local people. That means having the right transport infrastructure in place that works for everyone – whether you’re driving, walking, cycling or using public transport.

“Our goal is a better connected Hampshire, where people can get around more easily and safely. These projects will help us support local businesses, protect our environment and improve quality of life across the county.”

Some of the key projects planned for 2025/26 include:

•    Bus priority lanes in Basingstoke and Havant
•    New pedestrian crossings in Alton and Farnborough
•    New walking and cycling routes in Gosport and Fareham
•    Road safety upgrades on the A35 in the New Forest
•    Public space improvements in Botley and Andover

A full list of projects by area is available on the County Council’s website.

More schemes may be added as new funding becomes available.
