There has been a major development in a project which will see a Worcestershire town connected to a main road.

The Northern Link Road project in Pershore took a big step last night as six of the ten beams were lifted into place over the Worcester to Oxford railway line.

Worcestershire County Council has stated that the remaining four beams will be installed tonight, Friday April 8.

The new road is designed to provide a direct link from the existing A44/B4083 roundabout, north of the railway line, to the B4083 roundabout south of the tracks.

It will also connect the Keytec Business Park and the A44.
