A major project, described as Stockport’s single most important strategic highway connection, has been completed by GRAHAM.

The £8m Travis Brow Link Road creates a vital link between the A6 and M60 in Stockport town centre.

It is part of Stockport Council’s £73m Town Centre Access Plan, which will improve access into and around the centre, by easing congestion and improving transport links.

GRAHAM’s work has been recognised, with the scheme named Project of the Year at the 2019 Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (CIHT) North West Awards.

“This has been a really successful project and our teams have worked incredibly hard on a scheme which benefits millions of people who will use this link road.

“It forms a key part of an extensive access plan for Stockport town centre. High-levels of expertise were required in order to complete the work – especially when you take into consideration the Grade II listed viaduct and tunnel.

“Our work has been praised for meeting the key objectives of achieving best value, minimising disruption and efficient delivery.”

GRAHAM was appointed through the Highways England CDF Lot 2 Framework.

The project didn’t come without its challenges, with innovation required to support the exposed rock face beneath the viaduct foundations, whilst also restricting movements to negligible levels during the construction phase. Pre-stressed rock anchors were utilised with a near vertical hard shotcrete facing. The retaining structure was then covered in mass concrete, to protect against vehicle impact and corrosion.

Outputs and benefits

  • Impact: Our collaborative design and construction effort reduced the overall project costs for SMBC, while providing a visually improved overall landscaped scheme
  • Bridge strikes: Our work has helped to reduce bridge strikes on George’s Road where regular strikes had previously caused significant disruption to the road and rail networks
  • Segregated pedestrian and cycle lanes: These have created an important east-west local sustainable transport link north of the town centre
  • Engineering fill: 10,000 tonnes of excavated brickwork were recycled by crushing and turned into engineered fill for the construction of the embankments and temporary works piling
  • Collaboration: Our construction methodology was designed to enable a key road (providing access to B&Q and Decathlon) to be opened at weekends in recognition of busy retail trading
