Residents are urged to have their say on the A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross improvement scheme in Cornwall during a series of consultation events this month.

A consultation is being held on plans to transform the single carriageway between Chiverton Cross and Carland Cross – one of the last bottlenecks in Cornwall – into a dual carriageway.

The improvement to the 8.7-mile stretch is part of a £2 billion package to turn the A303/A30A358 corridor into an expressway to the South West.

The upgrade of the Temple to Higher Carblake section of the A30 is due to be completed in spring 2017 and by improving the A30 between Chiverton and Carland Cross, Highways England will be working in partnership with Cornwall Council on a second joint project as part of the Government’s £15 billion investment into roads.

Following the consultation, the preferred route will be revealed next spring.
