From Farndon roundabout to Winthorpe roundabout near Newark-on-Trent

Proposal

A46 Newark Bypass. The scheme comprises on-line widening, to the north of the existing route, for most of its length between Farndon roundabout and the A1 followed by a new section of offline dual carriageway proposed between the A1 and Winthorpe roundabout, where the new dual carriageway ties into the existing A46 to the west of Winthorpe roundabout. The widening works include earthwork widening along the existing embankments, and new structures where the route crosses the Nottingham to Lincoln and East Coast main railway lines, River Trent and the A1. The roundabouts at Farndon and Winthorpe will be enlarged and partially signalised, while the Cattle Market roundabout will be grade separated by elevating the A46. Access to the A1 to / from A46 will also be improved by upgrading the Brownhill and Friendly Farmer roundabouts. Anticipated submission period April 2024
