A595 Parton to Lillyhall Improvements
Client: Highways Agency
Value: £30 million
Location: West Cumbria
This scheme comprised the re-routing of the A595 in West Cumbria. The new route is 5.1km long, starting at the A596 junction at Lillyhall. This junction was being brought up to dual carriageway standard to the junction with the A597. A new bypass was built to the west of the existing road, bypassing the villages of Distington, Common End and Howgate before rejoining the A595 north of Parton.
The scheme involved the construction of five structures and three roundabouts, two online and one offline. Combined footways/cycleways are being constructed alongside the bypass for substantial lengths of the scheme. Significant liaison was required with a number of utilities with extensive statutory undertaker diversions necessary.
The discovery of greater crested newts, badgers, otters, bats and owls led to an increased requirement for ecological mitigation. Combined badger and otter crossings were incorporated in the design and a hybrid fencing solution included on the highway boundary, which took account of established animal movements. A hardened central reserve was provided on a known barn owl foraging route, and an innovative bat guidance bridge was developed where the bypass discontinues existing woodland. Advance works were undertaken to provide a new habitat for greater crested newts.
