Waterbeach New Town has received outline planning permission for up to 11,000 new homes. Before work can start on the new homes, a new Waterbeach Station will be built, closer to the development.
Winvic has now been appointed to build a haul road to the new station site, as part of enabling works. Awarded through the 拢800m Eastern Highways Award Framework, the 3.1km single carriageway will allow Spencer Group to begin work on the station and seeks to minimise disruption to local resident.
The 拢3m contract is Winvic鈥檚 first under the framework. Rob Cook, Winvic鈥檚 managing director for civils and infrastructure, said this 鈥渞eflects the strength of our relationship with the Greater Cambridge Partnership, Cambridgeshire County Council and partners across the region. The Waterbeach Station haul road is an important enabling scheme that underpins the long-term growth of the new town and the delivery of critical transport infrastructure.鈥�
