Discussing the works, Minister Kimmins said: "This substantial investment for an important part of the strategic road network will deliver significant benefits for residents and road users.

"The investment demonstrates my commitment to improving our road network, which is vital for connecting our businesses and communities. I would like to thank residents, local businesses, and commuters for their patience while this essential infrastructure work is carried out."
