As for buses I think they'll have the M2/M3 serve Bus Stops outside of the Tesco if it goes ahead although both stop at the bottom of the Motorway and at Barmston coming from Concord and Washington. Perhaps a quicker shuttle service could be introduced. It would be the same case with the Morrisons also.

As for the New Leisure Developments in Central Washington, I think there might be some road closures coming into Washington from Lambton/Oxclose and from Biddick/Glebe via the Leisure Centre. But we'll have to wait and see. TBF as I have lived in Washington all my life, which is almost 21 years, I think this sort of Development is long over due and is certainly welcomed by myself. I hope everything goes to plan.

I agree with what you say about the M2/M3. The easiest solution would be to turn left into Peel, then round the McDonalds roundabout and then back to normal route (as below). It would only add a minute or so on to the journey at most.



Regarding road closures. I wouldn't expect too many of them. Road closures on developments mainly occur to route the services into the development - e.g. water, gas, and electric. That shouldn't be required for either the Leisure Centre or the new Leisure complex at the galleries. Fingers crossed!
