A595 Grizebeck improvement
The A595 Grizebeck Improvement Scheme involved the construction of a 1.4-kilometre single carriageway road. The road runs between Chapels and Grizebeck.
Project details
£23.3 million of funding from the Department for Transport supported the scheme. It enabled the delivery of this major infrastructure improvement.
The new route runs to the east of the old A595. It passes Dove Bank and Dove Ford Farm. It then crosses the existing carriageway and connecting to a new junction at the A595/A5092, located to the west of the former junction.
The new road opened to traffic on 2 August 2026. Further works within the village and at the A595/A5092 junction continued between August and October 2026. Story Contracting officially vacated the site on 12 October 2026, marking project completion.
