Western Boulevard - Bus Service Improvement Scheme

The Western Boulevard bus service improvement scheme to widen the junction between The Boulevard and The Broadway was completed in March 2025.

The improvements, funded by the government’s Bus Service Improvement Plan, have delivered better bus facilities and bus connectivity improvements into the town centre. The scheme also completed the cycle route link from The Boulevard to existing cycle infrastructure on the High Street, along with junction improvements.

The bus infrastructure and public realm improvement scheme was delivered through the Crawley Growth Programme as an extension to the Eastern Gateway scheme completed in 2022.

The Western Boulevard improvements have included:

• a wider junction including an additional dedicated bus lane for buses turning right into The Broadway and a lane for ongoing traffic travelling eastbound, allowing cars to keep moving while buses turn
• continued segregated cycle tracks on The Boulevard, completing the link to the existing cycle infrastructure on the High Street
• a new parallel crossing allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross safely together
• modal filters applied to one of the service roads off The Boulevard, improving safety for pedestrians and cyclists
• enhanced landscaping and quality materials, including resurfacing the road
• new paving for the pedestrian footways in the same style as the new paving at the eastern end of The Boulevard
