The new A30 dual carriageway along Goss Moor is still ahead of schedule.听The Castle-an-Dinas bridge opens this week, taking traffic along the 'holiday route' between Goss Moor and the St Columb roundabout. Click on the links below to enjoy the latest photos and audio report about the A30: At the western end traffic will be diverted off Highgate Hill onto the east bound carriageway of the new road, so that the constructors can link up the west bound side.听 Vehicles will then be taken all the way along the new A30 to Victoria, where they'll go back onto the old road up to Innis Downs.
| Work is progressing well at Goss Moor |
At the other end east bound traffic will be re-routed onto the west bound carriageway just after the Innis Downs junction, so that the new dual carriageway can be connected to the Bodmin by-pass. The constructors, Alfred McAlpine, are hoping to have the road finished before the end of听 June, up to a month ahead of schedule. Plans are already underway for the official opening, although a date hasn't yet been set. However, as many as 4000 people will get to walk, cycle or jog down the new A30 on the 1 April 2007.听The local Rotary, Lions and Round Table Clubs have been working with Alfred McAlpine and the Highways Agency to organise a charity event.
