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.

Mayor James Palmer says he will not be releasing an official manifesto, but says he has a clear vision for a second term.
The mayoral election on May 6 will decide the next leader of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
Mr Palmer says that his ambition is that £100,000 homes will make up 10 per cent of all new developments in the county.
He acknowledged that the goal cannot be directly achieved through the office of mayor, but said: “It’s achievable if the councils are willing.
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.
