Transport for London has completed a pedestrian improvement scheme at Marble Arch.
Subways at the famous landmark and busy intersection have been replaced with street crossings, in order to improve access from the West End.
The work means pedestrians and cyclists can now safely get around the busy gyratory quickly and more easily by using one of five new signalised crossings.
The £2.5M scheme also included improved footway and carriageway surfacing, and landscaping around the monument. Peter Brown, chief operating officer of TfL Streets, said: ‘This scheme is a real demonstration of how to get more out of our network for pedestrians and cyclists, without a negative impact on traffic.
‘It is a clear demonstration of the mayor’s aspiration to improve both transport facilities and the urban environment for all.’
