A46 Newark to Widmerpool Improvement -Supplementary Orders
Statement of Case August 2011
5 Traffic Forecasting
5.1 The traffic model prepared for the 2007 Public Inquiry was revised to include the
Kinoulton amendments and the extra connection to the A606 Widmerpool junction
that was a part of the 2010 Supplementary Orders. All of the other components of
the traffic model have remained the same. The subsequent modifications at the
Farndon roundabout were too small to be represented in the traffic model.
5.2 The Kinoulton amendments changed the journey times for local trips at the southern
end of the Scheme. However, these changes were very small in comparison to the
overall travel time benefits delivered by the whole Scheme. The updated travel time
savings for the Scheme were presented at the 2010 Public Inquiry. The travel time
savings will not change substantially as a result of the 2011 draft Supplementary
Orders.
