Jan 2019. A30 to St Austell Link Road

The new 3.9 mile single carriageway St Austell to A30 link road has recently been submitted to the planning department at Cornwall Council. It will connect to the old A30 near Victoria to the north and the A391 at Stenalees roundabout to the south.

The £87m road has provisional funding from the Government and funding from Cornwall Council.

Kemp have completed the detailed topographic survey of the route to enable the design to progress. Preliminary survey works started in the summer of 2017 with the final ground model delivered in early 2019. The survey and design teams worked closely throughout the planning and design phase with the consulting engineers stating; “We’d just like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your efforts during this project. We believe you have produced a very good survey, in some particularly challenging conditions. Your quality control, flexibility to change, and communication throughout, are a testament to your teams professionalism.”

MD Scott Kemp said, “we surveyed an alternative route for this link road in 2005. That route was a challenge but this route, whilst no less challenging, had the benefit of a client that worked closely with us to achieve the key targets. This bodes well for the contractor who ultimately gets appointed to construct this complex civil engineering project.”
