The village of Little Hadham in the UK has suffered from heavy traffic, air pollution and flooding over many years. The village also creates a major bottleneck to traffic flows on the main A120 road through the region, a major east west route crucial for the prosperity of the East of England. These multiple issues are being resolved though the construction of a combined bypass and flood alleviation scheme. By combining the resources and requirements of the highway and environmental authorities the scheme provides a sustainable and cost-effective solution to these issues with highway embankments and bridges also acting as flood alleviation dams and spillway structures. These combined benefits ensured the commercial viability of the scheme. This paper gives an overview of the structures and design challenges faced and how the requirements of the two functions have been combined into a single solution that ensures the future of Little Hadham and promotes growth in the region as a whole. |
