Government scraps Wiltshire’s Melksham bypass after value for money review
The proposed A350 Melksham Bypass has been removed from the government's Major Road Network and Large Local Majors Programme following a national review of road schemes.
The Department for Transport (DfT) assessed the bypass as offering lower overall value for money than other schemes in the programme.
The decision ends funding for a scheme that Wiltshire Council says has been a longstanding priority, intended to ease congestion, reduce journey times, improve road safety and reduce impacts on air quality and noise.
