Conservatives to Improve M42 Junction 10
Wednesday, October 10th, 2012
Tamworth’s road commuters are set to get a boost following the Government’s announcement of £170m road plans across England with improvments to M42 junction 10.
As part of the £170m plans announced by the Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin at the Conservative Party conference on Monday, £2.8m is to be spent on reducing congestion by widening several approach and exit roads and installing traffic signals. The plans also include the installation of pedestrian crossing points.
The planned improvements will support the creation of 2,250 jobs and 1,685 homes by 2020. They also support movements to major gateways, such as Birmingham International Airport.
