Project Info:
The Heysham to M6 Link Road is one of Lancashire's top priority transport projects. The new road will complete the long awaited connection from the Heysham and Morecambe peninsula to Junction 34 of the M6, and will be a 4.8km dual carriageway with a footpath and cycleway along the entire route.
The new road will bring huge economic and transport benefits to the county. As well as easing congestion caused by traffic travelling through Lancaster city centre, the link road will greatly increase the potential for investment in the surrounding area. A study has predicted that for every £1 invested in the link road, the community will get £4.40 back. The project also involves a fully remodelled junction 34, with new slip roads, a new bridge over the River Lune and a 600 space park and ride site.
