Rushenden link road, Sheppey
| The South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) is
promoting the further development and regeneration at Rushenden and
Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey. The proposals involve
substantial mixed commercial and housing development to complement
the existing development and to provide new employment and
homes.
Access to the existing development through Queenborough is
poor and a new link road between the A249 and the existing and new
development areas is proposed.
SEEDA have secured Community Infrastructure Fund provisional
funding of £9m from Government together with other government and
private sector funding.
The Link Road would be a new carriageway (part dual carriageway
and part single carriageway) that would run between the new
roundabout at Neats Court constructed as part of the A249 Swale
Crossing scheme and pass over the railway to connect to a new
junction on Rushenden Road with an intermediate roundabout to serve
Cullet Drive. |
