Mott MacDonald provided Doncaster Council with the majority of pre-construction services on the project.
Planning for a link connecting the south of Doncaster to Junction 3 of the M18 started over a decade ago. The first phase, known as Great Yorkshire Way, comprises 1.5km of new dual carriageway and 3km of single carriageway. It also includes two new rail as four new bridges over local watercourses.
The consultancy also provided project management support throughout and offered technical support during construction. Prior to construction Mott MacDonald carried out environmental and traffic appraisals, provided assistance at public consultations, prepared the planning application, drafted the compulsory purchase and side road orders and undertook the majority of design work.
Mott MacDonald is now providing similar services to the council for the second phase of FARRRS, which will complete the road from the A638 to Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
