National Highways has unveiled its preferred route for a multi-million-pound scheme that will fill in the dual carriageway gap on the crucial A46 trade corridor which connects the M5 with Humber Ports.
The preferred route – Option 2 Modified - incorporates suggestions from the local communities for the upgrade of the road in Nottinghamshire following an extensive public consultation exercise.
As well as removing the bottlenecks which cause substantial congestion on the outskirts of Newark, the upgrade will bring smoother and more reliable journeys for the 17,000 drivers who use this nationally significant Trans-Midlands Trade Corridor, on average, every day.
