Details

This report sets out AECOM’s assessment of the engineering feasibility and estimated capital costs of constructing new crossing capacity at each of the 3 location options under consideration, as well as the feasibility and cost for providing a variant to option C (involving enhancement to the A229 between the M2 and M20).

The report documents:

  • the identification of environmental, planning and engineering constraints that could affect conceptual designs
  • the use of preliminary traffic forecasts to develop assumptions for road widths, standards and junction provision
  • the development of conceptual designs
  • the production of cost estimates
