The Earl Shilton bypass will be Leicestershire’s newest road but parts of it have been created using old roads from around the County.

Nearly 27,000 tonnes of recycled road material have been used in the bypass so far and much more will be before the County Council project is finished.

The bypass works are into their fourth month and are progressing well. As with any major works there will inevitably be some unavoidable disruption during construction, particularly where the new bypass joins the existing road network. Though this disruption may be inconvenient, it is essential for both safety reasons and to allow construction of the new road.
