Lara Croft Way to open today for traffic in Derby

26 July 2010

Description:

Part of Derby's new inner ring road is due to fully open with the expected completion of Lara Croft Way.

 

It means that from today Monday the 26th of July 2010 people can get to Burton Road, Babington Lane and Normanton Road via a new roundabout, which opens on Tuesday.

 

The road was named after the video game heroine who was created in Derby.

 

The star of the Tomb Raider franchise was originally devised by a computer game developer based in the city. More than 27,000 people took part in the vote to name the Osmaston Road to Burton Road stretch of the new route, with 89% opting for Lara Croft Way.

 

The rest of the soon-to-be-completed route will be known as Mercian Way, in honour of the local army regiment.
