The A142 Lancaster Way roundabout in Ely has reopened with a pedestrian and toucan crossing following an £800,000 redevelopment.
The improvement works, which started in February, have created two-lane entries for the A142 approaches to the Lancaster Way roundabout and for the Lancaster Way approach from the business park.

The term of office for 60 of the 61 members of Cambridgeshire County Council is effectively over. Fresh elections will take place on May 6.
For one, of course, his time as a councillor, and that of a tenant of the council farms estate, ended abruptly and simultaneously some weeks earlier.
Roger Hickford resigned as deputy council leader and member for Sawston and Shelford on February 26.
It was ahead of a decision to be taken by his former council colleagues over whether to release a report of an investigation into his tenancy and interactions with the county farms team.
Tory Party chiefs, whilst confident of retaining control, have learned from past experience -including that of 2013 when UKIP delivered an extraordinary electoral blow – not to be complacent.

May s election will only be the second time voters in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have gone to the polls to elect their mayor. The BBC has been looking at what the role entails and how it came into being in 2017.
Why does Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have a mayor?
Mayors exist at local authorities up and down the country.
Some, such as in Bedford, are elected and work as the leaders of councils. Many are ceremonial and have no administrative power, instead acting as a figurehead for the area they represent.
Other objectors felt there was a need to consider that “Haddenham is a countryside village and that the countryside and wildlife needs to be preserved.
“There is a need to minimise loss of habitat and species and improve and maintain environment for general well-being of everyone”.
Others felt the GP surgery and school were already oversubscribed and existing developments around Haddenham already having increased impact.
“Development would place strain on village infrastructure, schools and doctors. Medical services are under severe pressure,” says another objector.
Planners argue that development in this area is “strictly controlled” says the council.
The application will go before the planning committee on May 4 with councillors being told by their officers that the house estate is not acceptable.
