PLYMOUTH'S major new Forder Valley Link Road is set to open late next month - and will have a new name.
Plymouth City Council has confirmed that, in recognition of The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the near £50 million road will be called Platinum Parkway.
The scheme sees the building of a one-kilometer road linking William Prance Road in Derriford and the Forder Valley Road/Novorossiysk Road junction. This will be a key link between the A38 and the north of the city, where new homes and businesses are planned as Plymouth grows.
The road will run along a new bridge across Bircham Valley, with a larger, relocated signalised junction at the Forder Valley Road/Novorossiysk Road intersection. It will help to alleviate traffic on the A386 Tavistock Road and Manadon roundabout, providing an alternative route to the north of the city.
