A46 improvement scheme gets green light
06 January 2009
The Secretary of State's Decision letter supporting the Inspectors findings, together with the announcement by the Department for Transport and the Regional Authority that the scheme will now go ahead immediately as part of the governments Fiscal Stimulus, has removed the uncertainly over funding and commencement date.
The A46 is an important regional strategic road connecting the East and West Midlands and has been identified for accelerated delivery. The project was originally awarded to Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering as an Early Contractor Involvement project in early 2004. The scheme involves the design and construction of a new 28 km, two-lane dual carriageway from the A606 two-level junction at Widmerpool, to an improved roundabout at Farndon, just South of Newark.
Work is expected to start in early 2009 and is scheduled for completion in late 2011.
