Bypass plan given the go-ahead

Bypass plan given the go-ahead

Plans for a £12m bypass in Cambridgeshire have been approved.

For about 15 years residents of Fordham have been calling for a bypass to rid the village of congestion from the A142.

Now Cambridgeshire County Council has approved a plan for a 2.2 mile bypass.

The council still has to wait for the results of a public inquiry from a government inspector before work can start.

The new bypass will include provision for a pedestrian and cycle link between Fordham and Soham Village College.
