Name and Location
Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme (FARRRS), Doncaster, England.

Client
Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council.

Project Description
The FARRRS will provide a new 4 km highway from the M18 at Junction 3 to Parrot’s Corner on the A638 Bawtry road.

The road will create links to Robin Hood Airport and new developments in Rossington, including Verdion’s inland port and Harworth Estate’s redevelopment of the former Rossington colliery.

Reclaimed material from the colliery spoil tips will be used to form raised embankments for most of the road.

In addition, several new bridges will be built to cross over the East Coast main line, the Brancliffe to Kirk Sandall railway line and various watercourses.

Value
£58-million.

Duration
The road will become operational in early 2016.

Latest Developments
Construction has begun on the FARRRS.

Mott MacDonald is the acting project manager and providing technical support for Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council during construction.

The firm has a wide-ranging role in the FARRRS, including providing the route’s design and helping the council and its private-sector partners access funding from government’s regional growth fund.
