A11 Roudham Heath to Attleborough and A10 Wadesmill
By-pass Dualling Project.
As part of the Highways Agency's constant road improvement scheme both
the A11 and A10 have undergone changes.
The A11 that runs between Roudham Heath and Attleborough was
dualled to accommodate the increase in traffic and Wadesmill
in Hertfordshire was By-passed.
Tilbrooks were successful in winning the contract to plant and
maintain these sites for 5 years.
The A11 project consists of approximately 90,000 plants and trees, newt ponds
and newt fencing. The maintenance side of the contract consisted of replacing
any plants that had died and cutting the grass for the site once a year.
The A10 project consists of Approximately 130,000 shrubs and
trees, newt ponds and newt fencing and the maintenance includes
grass cutting for the entire site and replacing the dead shrubs
and trees.
We worked very closely with the national trust and other wildlife conservation
organizations to create Otter holts, hibernaculars (underground
shelters for wildlife), newt relocation areas and also topographical
variations to make the new landscape look as natural as possible. Below is a brief snapshot of the A10 project and a location
map of the A11 project, the new road is highlighted in red..
