## Summary

The Wigan Council is initiating the A49 Goose Green to Westwood Park Link Road project, which aims to enhance access to Wigan town centre from the south of the borough. This construction project falls under the construction industry category and has an estimated value of £14 million. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the deadline for submitting expressions of interest set for 26th May 2017. The project location is in Wigan, North West England, and involves the design and construction of approximately 2.3 km of dual 2-lane carriageway, alongside significant enhancements to existing infrastructure.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for contractors specialising in road construction and infrastructure improvements, particularly those with experience in large-scale public works. Businesses involved in civil engineering, structural design, and utility construction would be ideally positioned to compete for this contract. Furthermore, the selective procurement method indicates that Wigan Council is seeking qualified contractors, making it crucial for interested parties to demonstrate relevant expertise and capability in delivering complex projects of this nature.

## Notice

The Council is looking for expressions of interest for the design and construction of a new high capacity route into Wigan town centre from the south of the borough, improving access to the town centre and to the motorway network. The proposed A49 Goose Green to Westwood Park Link Road is a connection from the existing A49 Warrington Road roundabout at Goose Green continuing through Westwood Park, north of Pearson's Flash up to and including improvements to Chapel Lane/Poolstock Lane Junction. The Council is seeking to appoint one contractor to complete work. The scheme will consist of approximately 2.3 km of new dual 2-lane carriageway which includes an upgrade from single 2 lane to dual 2-lane carriageway along the existing Westwood Park internal access road. The scheme will incorporate three new major structures to bridge existing watercourses, canals and a primary road, the widening of an existing canal overbridge plus two new footbridges, a new culvert and two new retaining walls.
