The site
The outline is the boundary the promoter published. It can include cable, pipeline or road routes as well as the main site. 68 hectares inside the published boundary.
What is proposed
The project is to replace the existing at-grade roundabout junction between the A184 and the A19 (Testo's junction) with a grade separated junction. This involves raising the A19 carriageway above ground on embankments and bridge structures as required to carry it over the existing roundabout. The new raised section of the A19 will be slightly west of its existing alignment to accommodate a widened roundabout, whilst minimising the impact on an electricity sub-station to the east and retaining parts of the existing A19 southbound carriageway for use as new slip roads. Access to and from the A19 north of Testos Junction to Downhill Lane junction, which lies 1km to the south, would be via Testo's roundabout and new parallel link roads connecting the two junctions.
