Work on a huge new link road off the A52 could begin in 2024 if a bid to Government for £40m is successful. Councillors say the Toton link road would better connect and reduce congestion in Stapleford, Toton and Chetwynd.
The development was unanimously voted through during a Nottinghamshire County Council meeting last year, when the cost was estimated at £30m. It would link the A52 to Toton Lane via a new, single-carriageway spine road running through the Baulk Lane area, accessed via a sliproad off Brian Clough Way.
It will come as part of the Toton and Chetwynd Barracks Masterplan, with plans for thousands of new homes and a new leisure centre. A tram extension could then also potentially run further to Toton sidings if a new station is to be built.
