Search the Public Notice PortalPlans for a new relief road aimed at easing congestion in Trafford have moved a step closer.
A planning application for the proposed 2.7-mile Carrington Relief Road has been submitted to Trafford Council.
The route would include active travel lanes and is essential to the Places for Everyone ‘New Carrington’ Master Plan.
The master plan also includes proposals for 5,000 new homes and 350,000sqm of new employment space by 2040.
The road has been designed by Amey under the One Trafford Partnership, in conjunction with Balfour Beatty.
It will feature six new junctions with traffic lights and three ponds for wildlife habitats and drainage, using a former Carrington petro-chemical site’s road as a basis for almost half its length.
Aidan Williams, Trafford Council’s executive member for climate change, said: "The communities of Partington and Carrington have long suffered from poor accessibility, cut off from adjacent areas by the Ship Canal, River Mersey and narrow rural roads.
"This new route will reduce congestion, taking freight vehicles away from unsuitable roads and, for the first time, provide safe and traffic-free walking and cycling space between Partington and Sale."
Liz Patel, Trafford Council’s executive member for economy and regeneration, said: "Carrington and Partington are a major focus of future growth and regeneration, and this new road is needed to enable this to happen.
"I am particularly proud that for much of its length we will provide as much space for walking and wheeling as we will for powered vehicles, promoting active travel and alternative ways of getting around."
