Wednesday 29th Januay 2014 / 5pm for 5.30pm start at Portsmouth Civic Centre (opportunity of prior site visit 1.30pm-3.30pm at M275 Tipner site offices)
An opportunity to find out more about the M275 Tipner Project and Tipner Regeneration CIHT is pleased to offer a presentation – with optional prior site visit to demonstrating progress and lessons being learnt on the M275 Tipner construction site in Portsmouth. Portsmouth City Council (PCC) is constructing a new motorway junction, a southbound bus priority lane on the M275 to the city centre and a high quality park and ride facility with a terminal building for waiting area and retail outlet. Work began in January 2013 and the project is due for completion for Spring 2014. The Department for Transport awarded £19.5m of funding for the project with an additional £8.5m by PCC. The Portsmouth park and ride is vital to the city’s ongoing regeneration, as it will provide sustainable transport, catering for increasing numbers of visitors generated by a redeveloped city centre and seafront, as well as for commuters and major events in the city. The motorway junction will provide access to the park and ride and opens up the possibility of developing land on the western side of the motorway referred to as Tipner west. The scheme contributes to the £1billion vision of Portsmouth over the next 20 years that will result in significant employment and population growth. The development of the sub region’s economy will see Portsmouth evolve to a new level with regeneration of the city and planned office, industrial, hotel, retail and housing developments. More information on the project and Tipner regeneration can be found on: http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/living/8781.html. Graham Baggaley, Project Manager of the Tipner Project for Portsmouth City Council will introduce the project. Representatives of Portsmouth City Council, the Client’s Designer Atkins and the VolkerFitzpatrick Colas Joint Venture will be available to answer questions.
