Overall project value:

£133 million

Overall project programme:

2021-2026

MWJV were commissioned in 2021 and have taken over the delivery management of the projects in line with the Construction Playbook principles and working strategically with the Council’s team.

This programme of five projects encompasses the major transport delivery for the Council and consists of two housing facilitation schemes, two cycle schemes for sustainable travel, and a much needed bypass around Camelford.

  • Northern Access Road (NAR) (£40m) on the A390 corridor coming in from the A30 at Chiverton towards Truro.

  • Newquay Strategic Route (NSR) (£17m) linking Hendra to Nansledan and Trevenson, encompassing two bridges over the Newquay branch rail line and over a river.

  • Truro Loops (£2m) providing commuting and recreational facilities and also links to the west side of NAR.

  • Saints Trails (£15m) providing commuting and recreational facilities from St Agnes to Chiverton which also links to the east side of NAR and a link from Perranporth to Goonhavern.

  • Camelford Bypass (£46m) scheme developed up to planning stage and awaits funding programme entry.

The housing road schemes (NAR and NSR) are in the final stages of pre-contract and are intending to commence on site late summer 2022. The two main cycling projects (Saints and Loops) are both on site and will complete in the next FY.

Sustainability / Carbon Neutral

Engagement / Added Value

Charity support and volunteering opportunities are carried out by staff at all projects. 

Using the experience from within each of the JV partners parent companies to provide greater industry best practice and knowledge sharing to improve the quality of delivery and that of the final product.

Supporting land negotiations to provide continuity to the affected landowners throughout the schemes thus reducing disputes regarding promises made at scheme completion.
