The current straight stretch of Alwyn Road between Dunchurch and Bilton will be changed drastically by the link road plans. This view will feature a major junction with the link road close to the camera and a separate roundabout just before the houses in Bilton start, to give access to the proposed development behind Montague Road and also behind Alwyn Road. Markings for the possible layout for both already seem to exist on the road surface.
