The £25m project involves construction of 6km of new single carriageway between Junction 15 of the M1 motorway and the A45. The link road will run parallel to the M1, on the southwest side, for more than 3km before heading southwest towards Daventry connecting to the A45 west of Weedon Village.
Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering’s works will include the construction of nine structures including five bridges over railways, roads and water courses. There will be also be three roundabout junctions – one at each end and one at an intersection with the A5.
Extensive earthworks are also involved, with cuttings and embankments of up to 10m depth and 10m in height respectively.
The project is expected to take 24 months to complete.
