Public consultation on proposed grade separated junctions at gonerby moor, colsterworth and carpenters lodge
Key events
Key Events
It is not possible, at this stage, to say in which order the six junctions would be constructed as each of them has to pass through the statutory procedures before work can start. However, for practical reasons it is unlikely that work would be carried out on more than two junctions at any one time.
It is intended to appoint one contractor who will design and build all six junctions. It is hoped to appoint the contractor before the preferred option for each of the junctions is announced. The contractor will then help the Highways Agency in taking the six junctions forward through the necessary statutory procedures. Appointing the contractor early gives them the maximum opportunity to use their skills to produce both innovative and workable solutions. It also allows construction work to start very quickly after the statutory procedures have been completed.
What Happens Next
Please let us have your views on the proposed junction layouts by completing the enclosed comment form and either handing it in at the exhibitions or posting it (no stamp required) to the Highways Agency. Alternatively, you can write to the Highways Agency at the Birmingham address provided at the back of this brochure. The closing date for receiving comments is 9 May 2003. You can also email your comments to: a1peterboroughblyth@highways.gsi.gov.uk
All comments received will be reviewed before the Secretary of State for Transport announces the preferred option for each junction. The next stage would then be to publish draft orders under the Highways Act 1980 which seeks the powers necessary to acquire land and construct the scheme. At this stage the public will have a further opportunity to comment. Depending on the nature of any objections to the draft Orders, a Public Inquiry may be held before an independent inspector. If so, a decision to proceed with the scheme would only be taken after the Secretary of State for Transport has considered the Inspector's report.
