Walton on Trent Bypass

The redevelopment of the former Drakelow Power station includes plans for a new 1.5km bypass around Walton on Trent as well as a 150m-long three-span bridge over the River Trent. The bypass will ease traffic congestion in the village as well as removing the need to use the existing 70-year-old bailey bridge.
