The work is part of National Highways £330 million upgrade of the A30 single carriageway between Chiverton Cross and Carland Cross roundabouts.

The £330 million upgrade includes:

• A 70mph high-quality dual carriageway

• A two-level junction at Chiverton Cross and a new roundabout to ensure the free flow of traffic on the A30

• A new partial junction at Chybucca built on two levels with west-facing slip roads to provide access onto the dual carriageway from local routes

• New bridges at Tolgroggan Farm, Pennycomequick Lane and over the Allet to Tresawsen road to provide local access

• A two-level junction at Carland Cross with a new roundabout north of the dual carriageway and re-using the existing roundabout to the south

• Keeping the existing A30 as a local route with new sections where necessary to provide continuity and connectivity for local communities.

The cost of developing the scheme is being partly funded by an £8 million contribution from the European Regional Development Fund, with an additional £12 million for the construction phase. The remainder of the cost of developing and delivering the scheme is being funded by central Government.

The new A30 carriageway is scheduled to be opened in winter 2023/2024, and in the meantime more information and further scheme updates are available at www.nationalhighways.co.uk/a30chiverton.
