Proposal of The Project
The project consists of a single two lane carriageway, one roundabout and three traffic-signalled controlled junctions. A new roundabout has been created between the Newport and Roundswell roundabouts with a feeder lane from the Roundswell side to the new two lane carriageway. This allows easy access from the A39 Atlantic Highway to the A361 Braunton Road which generates much of Barnstaple's traffic.
Other plans include stream culverts, two pedestrian/cycleway underpasses, minor retaining walls and a 100 metre three span viaduct providing access for buses, cyclists and pedestrians to Barnstaple railway station. Also built into the plans is the ability to reopen the Barnstaple-Bideford railway in the future should this become financially viable.
