Construction
The Scheme would be delivered over five years with advanced works starting in 2011/12 and main works running from 2012/13 to 2016/17.
Construction would be carried out in 2 phases. The first phase would be from Newark to Saxondale. The second phase would be from Saxondale to Widmerpool Interchange.
We would carry out advance works that would include archaeological excavations, diverting services and an early start on the new railway bridge. Surveys before construction would confirm the presence of any protected species and we would relocate them where necessary. During construction we would minimise disruption to traffic on the A46 and other roads in the area and restrict contractors' vehicles to major routes.
The contractor would produce a Construction Environmental Management Plan for the works. This would be used to control construction work, limit the impact on local properties and protect environmentally sensitive areas. During construction, we would liaise regularly with local residents.
