The outline is the boundary the promoter published. It can include cable, pipeline or road routes as well as the main site. 26 hectares inside the published boundary.
What is proposed
The project is to significantly enhance the capacity of the junction between the A19 and A1290 in Sunderland/South Tyneside, supporting local plans for an International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) to the north of the existing Nissan plant. It involves the construction of a new bridge to the south of the existing (A1290) bridge across the A19. Together with the existing bridge this will form a more traditional roundabout layout above the A19. New slip roads will connect the A19 to the south. To the north, link roads will tie into the proposed Testos junction Improvement.
