Contract Award for ‘Newhaven Port Access Road Consultant’

The Newhaven Port Access Road (NPAR) is identified as a priority in the County Council Plan as well as within the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership Local Growth Deal.

WSP hase been the design team since the start of the project and is responsible for the schemes design. The construction contract is a “build only” contract and with further highway design consultancy input being required for the scheme through the construction phase, it is not desirable to change consultant. WSP has a huge amount of valuable invested knowledge in the scheme and if a different consultant were appointed, not only would this knowledge be lost, but additional time and money would need to be spent to bring them up to speed, and also for them to review the design before adopting it as their own.
