Description

The objective of the Bearsted Road scheme is to improve capacity and operational efficiency, together with improved infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. The highway extents are highly constrained and therefore the available solutions are limited particularly as there is a need to minimise land take and any commercial impact on Newnham Court Shopping Village. The scheme is expected to deliver improved capacity, better pedestrian and cycling connectivity. The dualling option will make it possible for future traffic incidents or maintenance requirements to be catered for under lane closures, therefore enabling a two-way flow of traffic to be maintained and reducing congestion. Additional information: This contract has been awarded using a Price per Quality Point (PQP) assessment, as outlined in the tender documents.
