As we’re based near Preston in Lancashire it’s always nice to hear about developments on our doorstep. Wigan Council is looking for contractors to bid for the new 2.5km A49 Link Road project, which will see a dual carriageway create a high capacity route from the south of the borough directly into the town centre of Wigan.



There will be a range of construction projects along the link road which will run between Goose Green and Westwood Park.



The scheme is also being developed to create the necessary infrastructure for new development projects around Pemberton Park where a 32 acre (12.95 hectare) Business Park has planning consent for over 600,000 sq. ft. (55,742 sq. m.) of office and industrial/distribution accommodation and the Wigan Arc where 86 residential units are being built.



The closing date for bids for the project is the 24th November, for more information on the PQQ project visit: https://www.the-chest.org.uk/procontract/supplier.nsf/frm_home?openForm
