The opening of a new fourth arm from Boundary Roundabout connecting to Gillett Road at the eastern side of the Talbot Campus will help improve traffic congestion and air pollution in the area at peak travel times, as well as save travel time for those visiting BU.

For those travelling by bus, all westbound UNIBUS services will use the new road to access the newly opened Talbot Campus bus hub, meaning the bus stop on Wallisdown Road (stand K) will no longer be served by the U1, U3, U4 or U5 services.

Drivers can also use the new road to access visitor and permit holder car parks, and should be aware of the new tiger crossing - which combines a pedestrian zebra crossing with a crossing for cyclists - located on the link road near the Boundary roundabout connection.
