[ 28 July 2010 ]

Lara Croft Way, part of Derby's new 36.2m inner ring road system, has opened to the public, reports the BBC. The name was chosen from a shortlist by public vote, with 89 per cent of those polled opting for the character devised by Derby-based game studio Core Design.

Derby Councillor Matthew Holmes said: "The opening of Lara Croft Way signifies another major milestone of the Connecting Derby scheme which is fast approaching completion after many years of hard work by a great number of terrific individuals.

"Derby is proud of its place in a vibrant creative industry and Lara Croft Way is fantastic way to celebrate that."
