1 A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross Project Induction A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross Project Induction Issue 4 M Project Description: The scheme is to upgrade 7.9 miles (12.7 km) of existing single carriageway to dual carriageway on the A30 between Chiverton Cross roundabout and Carland Cross roundabout. The scope includes addressing the junctions at Chiverton Cross, Carland Cross and the key intermediate junctions which provide connections to the local highway network. Features of the scheme include: 70mph dual carriageway New junctions at Chiverton and Carland Cross New bridge at Chybucca plus 6 other crossings for local roads Retention of existing A30 for local traffic Environmental mitigation and new ponds to accommodate drainage 2. Site Description & Location Plan: Newquay Bodmin Exeter Penzance Truro The existing A30 between Chiverton and Carland Cross is a rural single carriageway road, subject to the national speed limit. Although predominately two lanes, there are sections where a third lane has been introduced for climbing and right turning purposes. There are two significant intermediate junctions within design length at Chybucca (B3284) and Boxheater (B3285), as well as several other minor side roads and property accesses. Exiting from side roads (particularly turning right) can be hazardous. Whilst there are a few locations where verges are present, the majority of the route is abutted by hedges on either side of the carriageway. Other key features to note are that the road is often narrow with below standard bends and gradients, offering poor forward visibility. Traffic levels are high and the road is frequently used by slow moving agricultural vehicles, with limited opportunities for overtaking. Some laybys are located on this section, although not to current standards.
