Future

The facilities at The Hard interchange are somewhat dated and in need of upgrading to compliment the nearby Gunwharf Quays. This area could also become a more important focus if development proposals within the Historic Dockyard Heritage Area progress. The council is considering either refurbishment or redevelopment. The Interchange will be updated but also the area around it could see residential properties.
