Representatives from Cheshire East Council and their contractor Morgan Sindall will describe the planning,
procurement and delivery of this Early Contractor Involvement scheme.
Open to traffic in December 2015, this new dual-carriageway link road passes under the Crewe-Derby railway
line, which is on a low embankment. As part of the project, the Morgan Sindall team built a new bridge on the
line of the existing track, with the road set in a cutting to provide the required headroom. The 2,000 tonne, 30-
metre bridge deck and accompanying sill beams were built offline and moved into place on multi-axle
transporters during a 54-hour Easter 2015 track possession. In addition, during the early contractor involvement
stage, the project team carefully managed the environmental constraints, which included provision for the
relocation of great-crested newts and white-clawed crayfish.
