Skanska<\/a> has signed a contract with National Highways to deliver the A46 Newark Bypass improvement scheme<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The contract\u00a0will lead to the upgrade of a four-mile stretch of the A46 Newark Bypass, a key route that connects the A1 and M1.<\/p>\n

The scheme is part of the Government\u2019s Road Investment Strategy<\/a> and is expected to cost between \u00a3400 – \u00a3500 million.<\/p>\n

Skanska won the project through the National Highways<\/a> Regional Delivery Partnership (RDP) framework.<\/p>\n

The A46 Newark Bypass will feature a new dual carriageway<\/h3>\n

Skanska will undertake the design and construction<\/a> of the widening of the A46 Newark Bypass to a dual carriageway – providing two lanes in each direction between the Farndon and Winthorpe junctions.<\/p>\n

Works will also include the construction of a new five-arm roundabout at Winthorpe and traffic lights at Farndon junction and a new bridge will be built to take traffic over the A1, and a flyover installed at Cattle Market.<\/p>\n

Skanska will work with Mott McDonald on the design plans<\/h3>\n

Jonathan Willcock, managing director of Skanska\u2019s Infrastructure business, said: “We\u2019re really excited to be delivering these important improvement works for National Highways.<\/p>\n

“We have established a collaborative and trusted relationship<\/a> with our key customer and this contract builds on our current projects at M42 junction 6 and the A428.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll be working with National Highways and our design partner, Mott McDonald, to bring together a really strong and integrated team, alongside our wider supply chain.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re taking the lead for this project from the preliminary design stage, which enables us to more closely align design, consultation and buildability activities. This will help us to identify opportunities to optimise productivity, reduce cost and carbon emissions and deliver the project safely \u2013 while leaving a positive legacy for the local community.”<\/p>\n

The scheme will reduce congestion on the A46 Newark Bypass<\/h3>\n

National Highways senior project manager, Phil Boffey, said: “We\u2019re delighted to have reached a major milestone in the development of the A46 Newark Bypass, with the appointment of Skanska to deliver this much-needed upgrade.<\/p>\n

“This scheme will bring relief for the communities enduring the current congestion, as well as drivers using this key trade corridor.<\/p>\n

“We are determined to ensure that, as far as possible, the improvements work for the community as a whole and will continue to consider the views of road users and local people as we work with Skanska in the design and delivery of this upgrade.”<\/p>\n

A46 Newark Bypass is due to open for traffic in 2028.<\/strong><\/p>\n
