This exhibition is about the work we are doing in Huntingdon as part of the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme. Members of the project team are here to answer any questions you might have. Thank you Highways England – Creative BED19_0157 A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme Why is the scheme necessary? The A14 provides an east- west route linking the Midlands with East Anglia. It begins at Catthorpe near Rugby, where it connects with the M1 and M6 motorway, and continues east for approximately 130 miles to the port town of Felixstowe. It forms one of the UK’s strategic routes and is part of the Trans-European Transport Network. The A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon serves an additional purpose, connecting the A1(M) motorway to the North The scheme will: of England with the M11 motorway � combat congestion, making the to London and the South East. A14 more reliable and providing capacity for future growth This vital investment will relieve congestion on one � unlock economic growth, both of the busiest parts of the regionally and nationally strategic network between the Midlands and East Anglia and � improve local connectivity and will support both national and improve the local network for all regional economic growth. types of road user The new A14 will open to traffic � improve safety for road-users in 2020, with some finishing and the community work continuing beyond that, such as the removal of the old A14 viaduct in Huntingdon. � realise the wider benefits of road investment and leave a positive legacy in Cambridgeshire Highways England – CreativeBED19_0157 A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme What’s happening in Huntingdon? This is where the proposed changes are to take place. The A14 road and viaduct dominates the centre of Huntingdon. The removal of the viaduct and construction of link roads are an important part of the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme. This work will benefit Huntingdon and its residents for the following reasons: � The traffic that uses the A14 is a major contributor to noise and air quality impacts within Huntingdon � The viaduct constrains access and development to properties and land nearby � The viaduct requires ongoing and costly maintenance, which is not an efficient use of public money � The removal of the viaduct will improve some views of Huntingdon, particularly from the Huntingdon Conservation Area, some listed buildings and public rights of way Highways England – Creative BED19_0157 A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme Pathfinder and Mill Common link roads Existing layout 10m Huntingdon Ring Road A14 .

We will also construct a new access from Mill Common link road to the train station car park. Removal of the A14 viaduct The new A14 bypass will open to traffic by the end of 2019. Once the new road is open, we will be able to remove the viaduct that crosses the East Coast Main Line and Brampton Road. The remaining sections of the old A14 will be detrunked (handed over to become part of the Cambridgeshire County Council local road network).

Results show that, on the whole, traffic flows are expected to decrease in Huntingdon town centre as a result of the new A14, with a significant reduction in flows through Godmanchester, on the B1514 through Brampton and on the Huntingdon Inner Ring Road. There is a small increase on part of the A141 Huntingdon Northern Bypass. The removal of the old A14 viaduct and subsequent changes to the road network in Huntingdon will cause some increase in traffic on Brampton Road between the new Views Common Link Road and the new Mill Common Link Road. This is because these new roads will now carry town centre traffic. Elsewhere, traffic will be reduced.

  • Morelock Signs Working With
    working with The A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon improvement scheme covers a long and congested section of the A14 dual carriageway and is currently going through major works as part of Highways England's proposals to relieve trafc congestion, connect communities and enhance national economic growth. With the route at capacity, almost 85,000 vehicles use this stretch of the A14 every day with up to 21,000 being heavy goods vehicles. Since the start of the project and the installation of narrow lanes a temporary posted speed limit of 40mph was imposed. It became apparent that not all drivers were adhering to the speed limit especially during the evenings. Unfortunately, drivers felt they could exceed the 40mph limit through the enforcement cameras which evidently caused a rise in the amount of speeding offences issued and safety of road workers was being compromised. Working together with the Trafc Management team supported by Highways England, Morelock delivered a new solution with radar speed sign technology implemented in trafc management for the rst time. The introduction of the new LED speed indicating devices in construction work zones will protect the lives of road workers and encourage drivers travelling through to slow down. Radar speed sign technology is a successful technique being used for trafc calming efforts. These signs are proven to help reduce drivers' speeds in both the short and long term. Morelock's radar speed signs equipped with software that capture driver speed and relevant trafc data have been deployed in a host of applications from small communities to larger industrial sites and in partnership with the police force to tackle speeding by educating and changing driver behaviour.

In addition to criterion (b), should the policy specifically require new 1 development to preserve or enhance the setting of the river within the historic core having regard to paragraph 2.71 of the policy and the findings of the Cambridge Historic Core Appraisal (2006)? ii. Should the policy make specific reference to ‘The Cam Too Project’ given its 2 close association with the river? 1A.2 Policy 8: Setting of the City 3 i. Should the footnote 7 refer specifically to the most up to date Green Belt 3 review document? ii. Does criterion (a) accord with the provisions of Policy 4 of the Plan in terms 3 of the requirements for development in the Green Belt? In this regard, should the policy draw a distinction between proposals for development in the countryside and proposals within the Green Belt given the substantial weight that the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) accords to harm to the Green Belt? iii. Is the wording of criterion (a) too prescriptive in terms of development on the 4 urban edge? Is the criterion out of step with paragraph 58 of the Framework which requires that whilst development should respond to the character, identity and history of the local surroundings this should not prevent appropriate innovation? iv.
