Preferred Route
Proposals including revision of Preferred Route
The proposed route is generally on the line of the existing A1 except for a section south of Catterick where the route is diverted to the west. This minimises impact on Marne Barracks and on the archaeology of the Scheduled Ancient Monument at Bainesse Farm. The Preferred Route has been revised to take account of this change. Motorway junctions are proposed at Dishforth, Baldersby (A61), Leeming, Catterick Central, Scotch Corner (A66) and Barton.
