December 2025 update

Project timeline

The construction schedule has shifted: work is now planned for Spring 2027 to Autumn 2028, depending on funding. Planned works include vegetation clearance, fixing low spots, and re‑profiling around 4.3 km of embankment across Maxey, Glinton, and Newborough parishes.

Work completed so far

Survey data from geophysical, LiDAR, archaeological, and ecological studies has been used to finalise the Outline Design for the preferred option.

What’s next

• Preparing an Outline Business Case to secure funding.
• Additional ecological surveys, including wintering bird studies.
• Ongoing engagement with landowners and tenants.

Impact on local residents

Surveyors may be visible along embankments and nearby fields Monday to Friday, 08:00–18:00.
