A26 Dualling: Glarryford to A44 Drones Road junction - Stage 2 Scheme assessment report

Date published: 01 July 2008

This begins with an examination of broadly defined routes, progressing through the selection of a ‘preferred route’ to detailed environmental assessment and design.

A Stage 2 ‘preferred route’ assessment involved a more detailed assessment including surveys to identify the key effects and factors to be taken into account when selecting and comparing the five route options.  This resulted in the blue (on-line improvement) route option progressing to Stage 3 as the ‘preferred route’.
