Winthorpe residents are pleased about the new A46 bypass, despite original concerns that the road could cause problems for the village. It was announced on Wednesday, August 24, by National Highways that the new bypass near Newark will be designed and constructed by Skanska and its design partner, Mott McDonald.
This new Nottinghamshire bypass will fill in the dual carriageway gap on the crucial A46 trade corridor. This will ease congestion for drivers, lower the risk of accidents and give businesses a more reliable connection for trade.
The dual carriageway scheme, between the Farndon and Winthorpe junctions, will also tackle the traffic bottlenecks on the outskirts of Newark as well as improving journeys for the 17,000 drivers who use this Trans-Midlands Trade Corridor.
