A site visit has been organised by CIHT South West Branch to visit the Northern Inner Distributor Road in Taunton.
Date: 23 April 2015
Time: 4:00pm
Meeting point: Site Office, Firepool Lock (accessed via Taunton Station access road)
This is a new road which will link the west & east of Taunton. The estimated cost of the scheme is £21
million and the scheme involves many different aspects, some of which are as follows:
• Construction of a new bridge over the River Tone and the canal in the vicinity of Priory Fields Business Park
• Replacement of the former rail bridge over Station Road to the north of Whitehall
• Replacement of existing foot bridge over the railway at Chip Lane
• Construction of approximately 1.6 km of new carriageway together with the realignment of a further 150 meters of carriageway
• Construction of a new junction at the Chip Lane / Staplegrove Road junction
• Improvements to the existing Priory Bridge Road / Priory Avenue / Priory Park junction
• The provision of pedestrian and cycle facilities
An excellent opportunity to see the construction of a complex new road scheme at first hand.
