A49 Link Road open

22 March 2020

The A49 link road was officially opened by Wigan council on Friday 26th June.

The project is aimed at relieving congestion in the area, as well as improving connectivity and generating economic growth.  Hewson provided detailed design for four new bridges on the scheme, working for consultant BWB and contractor Jones Bros.

All four bridges were modelled to BIM level 2, including detailing of all reinforcement in 3D.

Congratulations to all involved in making the project such a success!!
