The Programme of Major Schemes
In 2001, the Government announced a package of transport proposals to be taken forward as part of the 10 Year Plan. Among the proposals the A46 Newark to Widmerpool Improvement Scheme was added to the Highways Agency's Programme of Major Schemes. Since then, the Highways Agency has appointed Brown and Root (trading subsequently as KBR and now Jacobs Babtie) as the firm of consulting engineers to take the scheme forward.
