Kent County Council has appointed VolkerFitzpatrick to design and build a highway crossing over a rail line and river near Canterbury.
The £34m Sturry Link Road project, funded through the Local Growth Fund, will divert traffic on the A28 away from the existing level crossing, one of Kent’s most heavily congested areas. It will also support over 16,000 new homes.
VolkerFitzpatrick will construct a 550-metre long road, with a 250-metre viaduct to be built over the Great Stour River, its flood plain, and the railway line from Canterbury to Ramsgate.
The viaduct will be a five-span structure, with the longest span distance being 56 metres, and will include a dedicated bus lane and multi-user footway.
