Benefits of the Proposals
The main benefit of upgrading the road to dual carriageway will be improved road safety.
The proposals will:
- allow slow moving vehicles to be overtaken safely
- reduce the number of junctions and direct accesses to the trunk road. The remaining junctions will be improved
- improve facilities for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.
In addition to the important safety benefits, the proposals will provide valuable savings in journey times and reduce delays when essential maintenance is being carried out.
