The Highways Agency contract to build the Polegate bypass has been
won by Miller Civil Engineering.
The £17.2m contract involves design and build of a 2.9km dual carriageway bypass to the north of Polegate in East Sussex to provide relief to the existing A27. Work is expected to start later this summer.
Highways Agency project manager David Smith said: "Much of the road will be in cutting to reduce noise and visual impact. There will also be dense planting along both sides of the road for most of its length. We have already planted 5,000 native trees and shrubs and by the time the scheme is complete and open to traffic we will have planted about 100,000 trees in total."
The removal of trunk road traffic from Polegate has been designed to provide residents with a safer and cleaner living space and, together with the newly improved A22 nearby, aid regeneration in the Eastbourne area.
