Residents and road users near a Nottinghamshire town are invited to have their say on the designs for the new A46 bypass. It is hoped that the new multi-million pound road near Newark will tackle congestion on the crucial road.
National Highways plan to upgrade the stretch of single carriageway on the A46 between the Farndon and Winthorpe roundabouts, which is used on average by 17,000 drivers every day as the key trade corridor connecting the M5 with the Humber Ports. This proposed bypass would create a continuous dual carriageway from Lincoln to Warwick, which will ease congestion on the outskirts on the town.
It was announced in February 2022 that the preferred route for the bypass was Option 2 Modified, which included many of the suggestions contributed by residents in local communities. This preferred route will also see the bypass built further away from the nearby village of Winthorpe.
