Jackson Chosen To Deliver £7m Suffolk Relief Road
Jackson Civil Engineering has been selected to build a new £7 million relief road in Suffolk.
The company will develop the Beccles Southern Relief Road to link the A145 London Road to Ellough to the south east of the town.
The scheme aims to provide faster access to Beccles Business Park and the Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft Enterprise Zone. Together with the B1127 Copland Way, the project will form a southern and eastern bypass of Beccles.
The project is being funded with £5m from the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and £2m from Suffolk County Council.
Construction is expected to start in September and take 18 months to complete.
Jackson's Technical Director Jim Chaplin said: "We're delighted to have been selected by Suffolk County Council to build this much needed relief road. Jackson works on civil engineering projects across the country, but it's always great to win work on our home turf and build things which will have such a positive impact on our local communities."
Cllr James Finch said: "Once complete, the Beccles Relief Road will reduce congestion and pollution in the town centre as well as providing an economic boost for the area.
"The road will be a benefit for motorists, business owners, pedestrians and cyclists – and getting Jackson on board is a positive step in the right direction to getting this road built and open to traffic."
