The seven road maintenance projects in Cambridgeshire given £4.9m funding
Some £4.9million of funding on seven highway maintenance projects has been approved for Cambridgeshire.
Cambridgeshire County Council’s highways and transport committee meeting agreed the funding on Tuesday (January 25).
The schemes had previously been approved, but as each project exceeds £500,000, further approval for funding was needed from councillors before the works could go ahead.
In total the schemes will cost £4,910,463.
The seven projects are:
- Royston Road, A505 Duxford – Replace safety fencing – £920,000
- Hillrow Causeway, Haddenham – Carriageway reconstruction – £600,000
- Mildenhall Road, Littleport – Carriageway reconstruction – £902,000
- Wimblington Road, Manea – Carriageway recon/recycle – £640,000
- Cromwell Road, Wisbech – Carriageway resurfacing – £679,463
- Hod Fen Drove, Yaxley – Carriageway reconstruction – £523,000
- Oilmills Road, Ramsey Mereside – Carriageway reconstruction – £646,000
Funding was agreed unanimously.
Cllr Simon King (Con, Roman Bank and Peckover) said he in particular welcomed the “substantial” amount of money set out for the resurfacing of Cromwell Road in Wisbech, which he said is a “truly terrible street”.
