THE GOVERNMENT has given the go-ahead to the construction of a El 0.5m link between the Al (M) and the A19 in Durham, designed to remove trucks from local roads.
Under secretary Gillian Men-on says the 2.3km single carriageway will also provide an improved connection from the city to revitalise East Durham's economy: "The scheme will remove a substantial amount of heavy goods traffic from unsuitable local roads, improving safety and the environment in residential areas such as Bowbum."
Brian Hewitt, from Durhambased Burn Haulagc,describes the plan as -tremendous", addin g:"At the moment there's only a single carriageway.The link road leading to the motorway at Bowbum isjust a country lane. Reading between the lines I think [the new route] will be cutting through only a mile away from us. Durham County Council plans to start works next month; the link is due to be completed by the end of 2008.
• Transport Minister Stephen Ladyman has given the goahead for a 3.7knt stretch of dual carriageway on the A14 between Haughley New Street and Stowmarket, Suffolk. Work is due to start in the summer; it will not affect the existing A 14. The project is expected to take 19 months.
