The whole area is gonna be covered over, for this new square, only access around that area will be to the car park, which the road will continue to the current exit past the empire.
They're currently building the new road where Duffy's used to be for access.
West bound will have a dedicated Bus lane all the way around (along with the 2 roads), with a new bus shelter etc
Here is a pic of the new square - all the yellowish is square, i think its a good idea to only have a road to the car park, the current road system is a mess around there, looks to be sorted when the whole area is complete end of the year.
