The new A43 Corby Link Road for Northamptonshire County Council is now complete.

Construction firm Interserve finished the £24 million project within the two year time scale.

The road has officially been opened by Transport Minister and MP for Scarborough and Whitby, Robert Goodwill.

The project involved the construction of around 6.5 km of dual carriageway, three new bridges and the accommodation of a watercourse, Harper's Brook, beneath the road. The projec involved major earthworks and piling, with cuttings and embankments of up to 10m deep and 8m high. Interserve has used local resources for the project, wherever possible.

Wherever possible, we have used local resources for the project, which is a core requirement of every major project Interserve embarks on."
