Important milestone for Stoneleigh Junction improvements

Improvements to the Stoneleigh Junction have taken an important step forward this month with the successful move into position of the scheme’s new bridge deck.

The £38m A46 Stoneleigh Junction improvement scheme aims to reduce regular delays and queueing traffic, improve road safety and ensure the region has the capacity required to meet future growth in the sub-region.

The new bridge deck was constructed away from its supports in order to minimise distruption to this busy area of the road network, before being installed into its permanent position using a deck lift and transportation method.
