Proposal
The project comprises the improvement of the A66 between the M6 at Penrith and the A1(M) at Scotch Corner. The existing route is 80km in length and intermittently dualled with approximately 30km of single carriageway, within six separate sections. The scheme comprises upgrades to the existing single carriageway sections of the road to dual carriageway. The scheme also includes junction improvements, minor improvements to the existing dual carriageway sections of the A66. On completion, the project will result in an 80km route with two lanes in both directions. This will improve journey time, safety and connectivity.
