Provision of a new link road that will provide significant relief to a major junction that is currently beset with congestion and delays. The scheme includes building new roads and widening existing ones to help reduce journey times and increase safety. In addition to the improvements for motorists, a new walking and cycling bridge is planned which aims to offer significant benefits for sustainable transport users.
These works form part of a wider project which can be viewed here – A127 Fairglen Interchange Project.
At the 16 February 2024 Accountability Board, the Board were advised that the new link road would be delivered alongside the planned A127 Fairglen Interchange Junction Improvement works, meaning that it will not be possible for construction to commence until the Junction Improvements project has received funding approval from DfT.
