What’s going on now?

The current feasibility work is helping us to identify, define and investigate our options for delivery. Further consultation will help inform this feasibility work which will enable us to identify our 'preferred', 'next best' and 'low cost' options for the Eastern Corridor High Quality Public Transport (HQPT) major scheme. We will work closely with the public to obtain their views on our proposals and make sure that only the most appropriate schemes are considered.

Once our options are identified we will undertake more detailed assessments along with further consultation. This will include more detailed environmental work, including noise, air quality, ecology, water, archaeology and landscape assessments.

We will complete detailed designs for the scheme, ensuring that our proposals are realistic and so enabling us to accurately predict construction costs.

Traffic modelling is also taking place to assess the likely operation of the scheme, give us confidence that the proposals are in the interest of the city and offer good value for money to the Department for Transport (DfT).
