Major manufacturers line the A50 as one of the key trunk routes between the East and West Midlands. It is also heavily used by hundreds of thousands of visitors to Alton Towers, one of the UK’s top tourist attractions.
This essential maintenance along the A50 Growth Corridor will ensure the bridges are fit for purpose, cutting journey times and improving road safety.
Large manufacturers such as JCB, Rolls-Royce, Toyota and Alstom rely on this key East-West route to keep supply chains moving and provide links to international markets, currently traffic congestion on the A50/A500 threatens to stand in the way of business growth. The route sees between 60,000 to 90,000 vehicles passing along it every single day.
