The Project

Five Year After study
As part of our ongoing programme of Post Opening Project Evaluation (POPE) this scheme has been reviewed at one and five years after opening. The studies compare the outturn effects of this scheme to the predicted impacts. A summary of the five year after report is available to download here: A6 Clapham Bypass Summary Report (PDF 49KB)
