Project Description
A45 Daventry Development Link will be a new 3.5m (5.7km) single carriageway, which will start at a new roundabout on the existing A45 between the villages of Dodford and Weedon. It will then pass to the north of the villages of Weedon, Flore and Upper Heyford before re-joining the A45 at a new roundabout between Upper Heyford and the M1 motorway at junction 16.
The scheme includes earthworks (cuttings and embankments) and the construction of eight structures including bridges, a culvert and a farm crossing.
