Canada Prioritizes $56B Lng Project & Pipeline Over Oil
Canada Prioritizes $56B Lng Project & Pipeline Over OilThe Canadian federal government has designated the massive Ksi Lisims Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility and its supply pipeline as a nation-building project, headlining a $56-billion package of energy and mining developments unveiled Thursday.  This move fast-tracks the proposed LNG export terminal in British Columbia's northwest, while omitting a new oil pipeline from the priority list. Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed the project's referral to Ottawa’s new Major Projects Office, emphasizing LNG's role in the global energy transition.  “LNG is an essential fuel for the energy transition,” Carney said, predicting it could help Canada build new trade relationships, especially in Asia, where global demand is forecast to rise by 60% by 2040.  Canada, home to the world's fourth-largest natural gas reserves, aims to supply up to 100 million tons annually of new LNG exports. The Ksi Lisims LNG project, which would become the country’s second-largest terminal, involves constructing the 800-kilometer Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline through northern B.C. The pipeline would move gas from the B.C.-Alberta Montney play to a floating terminal on Nisga’a Nation territory near Prince Rupert. The joint venture—between the Nisga’a Nation, developer Western LNG, and gas producers Rockies LNG—has already secured major regulatory approvals.  Western LNG CEO Davis Thames called the federal designation a “validation” of their approach to climate and Indigenous interests, saying a final investment decision is likely early next year.  Carney noted the facility is expected to run entirely on hydroelectricity, making it potentially the world's lowest-carbon LNG producer. Despite this, the project faces opposition, including Federal Court challenges from the neighboring Lax Kw’alaams Band and Metlakatla First Nations. The Nisga’a Nation, a project partner, said it is working with other Indigenous communities to finalize agreements, including equity stakes in the pipeline. The announcement comes as the federal government is under pressure from Alberta to give similar priority to a new oil pipeline to the West Coast. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office confirmed Wednesday that "sensitive" negotiations are ongoing with Ottawa.  Smith's government is seeking a memorandum of understanding that would include the removal or overhaul of federal laws hindering investment, alongside an agreement to work toward approval of a new bitumen export pipeline to Asian markets. Other developments announced Thursday included three critical minerals projects in Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, as well as major transmission projects in B.C., Nunavut, and the Yukon.

Severn Trent Engages Market On £200M Northern Section Of Ambitious Water Transfer Project
Severn Trent Engages Market On £200M Northern Section Of Ambitious Water Transfer ProjectSevern Trent Water has launched a second stage of preliminary market engagement for the delivery of the Minworth Strategic Resource Option (SRO), an integral component of the broader Grand Union Canal Transfer (GUCT) scheme. Valued at an estimated £200M excluding VAT, the project aims to significantly bolster water security in the southeast of England by transferring highly treated recycled water from the Midlands. The Minworth SRO focuses on the northern section of the wider GUCT initiative, centred on the construction of an Advanced Water Treatment Plant (AWTP) at Severn Trent’s existing Minworth site. This state-of-the-art facility will treat recycled water to a high standard before it is transferred via a 17km underground pipeline to an outfall in the Coventry Canal at Atherstone. From there, the water will be transported along the canal network as part of the GUCT project, which ultimately serves to meet increasing water demand in the Southeast. Stages of Severn Trent’s Minworth SRO This announcement follows the initial preliminary market engagement carried out in the summer, with Severn Trent now inviting potential suppliers to participate in one-to-one and deep dive sessions. These sessions are designed to cover a range of topics critical to the project’s success, including delivery models, procurement updates, early contractor involvement, asset and water quality considerations, sustainability and social value, as well as innovation and digital integration. Severn Trent’s current thinking is that the procurement will be structured around seven lots, allowing for flexible participation by contractors. These lots cover various combinations of the AWTP asset, water quality management and pipeline corridor responsibilities. Interested parties can apply for one or multiple lots depending on their expertise and capacity. Currently, the estimated contract period is projected to run from December 2028 through to December 2030. The engagement deadline for the current round of preliminary market engagement is set for 28 November. Severn Trent plans to conduct a third round of market engagement in late 2025, which will finalise the procurement strategy ahead of a formal procurement launch in early 2027. Distinctly, the Minworth SRO will be delivered in-house by Severn Trent, contrasting with the Grand Union Canal SRO in the south, which Affinity Water is managing through the Direct Procurement for Customers (DPC) process. The Grand Union Canal Transfer project represents a collaborative effort between Severn Trent Water and Affinity Water, aiming to transport surplus treated wastewater from the Midlands to the increasingly water-stressed southeast. The initiative is a strategic response to long-term water demand challenges, offering a sustainable and innovative pathway to improve regional water resilience. Mott MacDonald and Adams Henry Consulting are aiding in drawing up the development consent order (DCO) application for the scheme. By constructing the AWTP at Minworth and facilitating the underground transfer of water to the Coventry Canal, Severn Trent is advancing a critical piece of infrastructure that will underpin the success of the wider GUCT programme. The project not only addresses environmental and sustainability objectives but also aligns with broader social value goals, underscoring the company’s commitment to responsible resource management.

Global Palm Oil Output Seen Rising By 1.5 Million Tons In 2025/26, Godrej'S Mistry Says
Global Palm Oil Output Seen Rising By 1.5 Million Tons In 2025/26, Godrej'S Mistry Saysin Commodity News 17/11/2025 Global palm oil production in the 2025/26 season is forecast to increase by 1.5 million metric tons, with output from the two major producers Indonesia and Malaysia seen increasing only slightly, leading industry analyst Dorab Mistry said on Friday. He forecast benchmark palm oil futures on Bursa Malaysia could reach 5,500 ringgit per ton in the January-to-March quarter, maintaining his September outlook, if Indonesia continued to seize plantations and pushed on with plans for a higher mandatory biodiesel blend. Indonesia plans to implement a 50% biodiesel blend, known as B50, in the second half of 2026. The government expects to start road tests for the fuel next month. “If Indonesia goes to B50, there will be shortages of palm oil and prices will rocket,” Mistry, a director of Indian consumer goods firm Godrej International, told an industry conference in Bali. The Indonesian government’s plantation seizures could pose a production problem next year, he said. Source: Reuters

Williams' $1B Nese Gas Pipeline Project To Add 34 Bcf/D To Us Grid Amid Surplus Concern
Williams' $1B Nese Gas Pipeline Project To Add 34 Bcf/D To Us Grid Amid Surplus ConcernUS regulators have approved key permits for Williams’ $1 billion Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) project, clearing the path for construction of the 34 Bcf/d pipeline.  The NESE project, which had been previously shelved, became a symbol of the energy industry's struggle to build capacity for expected gas demand growth through the early 2030s. Approved on Nov. 7 by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the permits are crucial for NESE to cross waterways.  The approvals reverse earlier denials from 2018 to 2020 and were spurred by recent concerns about potential winter gas shortages in the pipeline-constrained Northeast.  The project aims to boost capacity on Williams’ Transcontinental Gas pipeline by 400 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) to serve New York City and Long Island starting in late 2027. Williams had revived NESE in June 2025, citing renewed grid concerns and a "friendlier political and regulatory climate" following the reelection of President Donald Trump.  New York’s Public Service Commission had also weighed in, urging the DEC to approve the project to prevent “catastrophic” gas shortages. However, the reality on the ground suggests the industry may already be headed toward a capacity surplus.  Midstream companies have reached final investment decisions (FIDs) on more than 34 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of new pipeline capacity slated for 2026-2029, according to East Daley Analytics.  This exceeds even the most optimistic analyst projections for gas demand growth driven by liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports and electricity generation for new data centers, which range from 18 Bcf/d to 27 Bcf/d through 2030. “Our members report a record number of inquiries for additional capacity,” said Amy Andryszak, president and CEO of the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America. Jack Weixel, senior director of energy analysis at East Daley, attributed the surge to easing market and political pressures, including the potential for federal permit reform that would limit state veto power. Analysts caution that this rapid buildout could lead to temporary capacity overbuild, particularly in the Permian Basin, where 9.1 Bcf/d is planned against a projected 6 Bcf/d in production growth. However, Luciano Di Fiori, a partner at McKinsey, noted that any overbuild would likely be temporary, citing the "virtually guaranteed demand pull" from the doubling of Gulf Coast LNG export capacity.  Despite the NESE win, Williams withdrew a similar application for its Constitution project in New York, vowing to refile soon.

Panynj Outlines Airport Modernisation In Proposed $45 Billion Capital Plan
Panynj Outlines Airport Modernisation In Proposed $45 Billion Capital PlanThe Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) has published its proposed 45 billion USD capital plan for 2026–2035, setting out a decade of investment across its aviation network, including major upgrades at JFK, Newark Liberty and LaGuardia. The authority states that the plan builds on the momentum of current redevelopment programmes and is structured to address growing demand, climate resilience requirements and the need for modern, reliable passenger infrastructure. As with previous plans, the programme is funded without state or local tax revenue. The capital plan advances the multi-year redevelopment of John F. Kennedy International Airport, one of the largest airport transformation projects underway in the United States. A significant element is the planned redesign of AirTrain JFK, with higher-capacity trains and upgraded stations intended to improve service reliability and support the expanded terminal footprint. The first gates of the new Terminal 1 and Terminal 6 are due to open in 2026, alongside further phases of the airport’s redesigned internal roadway network. At Newark Liberty International Airport, work on the new 3.5 billion USD AirTrain Newark continues. The replacement system is designed to deliver improved reliability, longer trains and more efficient inter-terminal, parking and rail-station connections. The plan also includes: The plan provides for the replacement of the 85-year-old Terminal A while preserving its landmark rotunda. The project complements the existing redevelopment of Terminals B and C, which were delivered under previous capital plans. Passenger access improvements form a major component, including: The redevelopment is designed to manage increased passenger demand and integrate LaGuardia more effectively into the region’s transit network. Airport-linked sustainability measures feature prominently. The authority has earmarked funding to support its target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030. This includes fleet electrification, zero-emission ground operations where feasible, and resilience projects designed to mitigate extreme weather impacts across airfield, terminal and landside infrastructure. The capital plan maintains support for digital transformation, with ongoing development of autonomous technologies, AI tools and advanced air-mobility concepts. These initiatives aim to enhance operational efficiency, safety and passenger flow management across the aviation network. Alongside the capital plan, the Port Authority has issued its 2026 budget proposal, totalling 10.1 billion USD. Of this, 4.1 billion USD is allocated to capital works, including AirTrain Newark construction, continued redevelopment at JFK, and state-of-good-repair programmes across the three major airports. Passenger volumes are expected to remain strong in 2026, with demand forecasts underpinning investment in new terminal capacity, modernised AirTrain systems and broader access improvements.

Bhp’S Billion-Dollar Pilbara Plan
Bhp’S Billion-Dollar Pilbara PlanBHP is reaffirming its long-term commitment to the Pilbara, with Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) asset president Tim Day announcing more than $1 billion in new investment for Port Hedland at the 2025 Hedland Economic Forum. Day said BHP’s plans include the delivery of a sixth car dumper at Nelson Point, which will support sustained production of more than 305 million tonnes a year over the medium term. “We’re investing more than $1 billion to deliver a sixth car dumper at Nelson Point,” Day said. “This will enable at least five car dumpers to run around 90 per cent of the time. It’ll generate some massive opportunities to create jobs and drive the economy here in Hedland too.” He said the project reflects BHP’s broader focus on “writing the next big chapter” for the region through collaboration between miners, government, traditional owners, businesses and the community. “The Pilbara is the engine room of Australia,” he said. “We need to focus on how we can unlock new projects and growth opportunities, improve liveability through better housing, healthcare and education, and create more opportunities for local industry to thrive.” Day said local partnerships remain crucial, noting that last year BHP spent more than $730 million with nearly 300 Western Australian businesses, including $50 million through its Local Buying Program. BHP is also collaborating with the WA Government and Core Innovation Hub to deliver the Made in the Pilbara grants program, which aims to help local businesses innovate and grow. Decarbonisation remains a key focus for the miner. Day outlined BHP’s progress in trialling battery-electric haul trucks at the Jimblebar mine and preparing for the arrival of Australia’s first battery-electric locomotives in Port Hedland next month through its partnership with Wabtec. “Replacing diesel isn’t just a fuel switch; it’s a transformation in how we operate, power our sites and train our people,” he said. “Electrifying our fleet isn’t just about lower emissions, it’s about smarter logistics, safer operations and a more resilient future.” Day said BHP’s collaboration with Rio Tinto, Caterpillar and Komatsu on trialling battery-electric haul trucks in the Pilbara. “Port Hedland isn’t just a gateway,” he said. “It’s a launchpad for the future of our industry.” Get 50 per cent off your Australian Mining annual magazine subscription during our Black Friday sale.

Heathrow Business Summit Celebrates Record Sme Turnout As Airport Doubles Supply Chain Investment To £2 Billion
Heathrow Business Summit Celebrates Record Sme Turnout As Airport Doubles Supply Chain Investment To £2 BillionPosted: 13 November 2025 | Gabriel Higgins | No comments yet Heathrow’s 27th Business Summit brought together nearly a thousand SMEs, announcing plans to double supply chain investment to £2 billion by 2027. Credit: London Heathrow Airport Nearly a thousand business leaders gathered at the Allianz Stadium in Twickenham for the 27th Heathrow Business Summit, marking the biggest event in its history. The summit celebrated small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from London and across the UK that form the backbone of the airport’s supply chain and the wider economy. Heathrow Airport currently invests over £1 billion annually in its supply chain but plans to double this to £2 billion by 2027, creating greater opportunities for SMEs to participate. Local and smaller firms already make up 60 per cent of Heathrow’s suppliers, underpinning employment and contributing to national growth. From family-run companies to innovative start-ups, these businesses play a key role in keeping more than 80 million passengers and £215 billion of trade moving through the airport each year. The event, held in partnership with local chambers of commerce and business organisations, featured speeches by Heathrow’s Chief Executive, Thomas Woldbye, and Lord David Blunkett, along with panel discussions led by senior Heathrow representatives and existing suppliers. Participants attended workshops detailing the supplier journey and took part in Meet the Buyer sessions, connecting directly with decision-makers from Tier 1 suppliers to discuss potential collaborations. Join us live for an insightful webinar on 11th December at 14:00 GMT, in collaboration with Smiths Detection, as we explore the strategic balance of operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and sustainability in high-volume security environments. This session offers a focused look into future-proofing your security strategy. Register now for expert insights, case studies, and actionable strategies on operational efficiency! Becky Coffin, Heathrow’s Director of Communities and Sustainability, highlighted the scale of upcoming investment: “Heathrow is embarking on a major upgrade programme to modernise the airport and enhance the experience for our passengers. Our five-year plan looks to double our private investment to £10 billion, and SMEs will be vital in helping us deliver these upgrades to ensure an even better service. “This represents a huge opportunity for businesses across the UK to join our supply chain and support Britain’s global gateway, even before construction begins on a potential third runway. SMEs have long been the lifeblood of our success, and it’s fantastic to see so many stepping forward to grow with us.” Lord Blunkett reinforced the importance of inclusive economic development: “It’s pivotal that as Heathrow grows, so do the communities around it. That growth is not just measured in passenger numbers or infrastructure but in lives improved, careers built and local economies strengthened. Preparing individuals with the skills needed, and offering opportunities to previously excluded groups, will enable many more to benefit from expansion. “Public entities, businesses and local communities each have a vital role to play—and only by working together can we create the kind of economic foundation that lasts. Bringing these groups together through collaborative initiatives like the Heathrow Business Summit offers SMEs a platform to connect with the Heathrow supply chain, unlocking the potential for real, inclusive growth—growth that benefits everyone.” Among the many businesses attending was The Pallet Yard, a Southall-based SME that forms part of Heathrow’s supply network. Ruth-Anne Lynch, Co-Director of The Pallet Yard, said: “Working with Heathrow is huge for an SME like ourselves. The Business Summit opens doors for new suppliers to start building relationships with Heathrow and its wider network, including with more tier-one suppliers within the supply chain, creating even greater opportunities for growth.” For details on how to do business with Heathrow and view current opportunities, visit competeFor.com/heathrow.   SIGN ME UP   Stay Ahead in Aviation — Subscribe for Free!

Plans Are Unveiled For A 322-Meter Residential Skyscraper In Jersey City
Plans Are Unveiled For A 322-Meter Residential Skyscraper In Jersey CityA major new development has been proposed for Jersey City that would reshape the city’s skyline and include a 322-meter skyscraper.  Located at 100 Bay Street, the project from BLDG Management envisions two high-rises—one at 90 floors and the other at 40 floors—set atop a shared podium and linked by a sky bridge at the 40th floor. Designed by architecture firm Pelli Clarke & Partners, the development aims to integrate with the character of Jersey City’s Arts District while introducing a bold new architectural landmark on the Hudson River waterfront. The 1.6-million-square-foot (148,644 square meter) complex would comprise approximately 1,300 apartments, with 20 percent designated as affordable housing. Units will range from smaller residences suited to individuals to larger layouts designed for families. Plans also include 29,000 square feet (2,694 square meters) of retail space at street level, creating an active pedestrian experience, along with amenity and recreational areas for residents. The taller of the two buildings is planned to reach 1,055 feet (321.6 meters), positioning it as a supertall building and in the range of other residential supertalls in the region like New York’s Central Park Tower (472.4 meters), 111 West 57th Street (435.3 meters), and 432 Park Avenue (425.7 meters). The towers’ slender forms are designed to allow more daylight to reach the surrounding streets while preserving key view corridors for neighboring residents. In addition to housing and retail components, the project will include parking for both residents and visitors and a covered entrance to reduce street congestion. If approved, the development would mark a significant milestone in Jersey City’s ongoing transformation into a major residential and cultural hub, further establishing its place among the nation’s most architecturally ambitious urban centers.   Read more at NJ.com

Vedanta To Invest Us$1.5 Billion In Zambia To Increase Copper…
Vedanta To Invest Us$1.5 Billion In Zambia To Increase Copper…Vedanta Resources announced on November 6 the creation of CopperTech Metals Inc., a new subsidiary responsible for operating its Konkola copper mine in Zambia. As part of this restructuring, the company said it will invest an additional US$1.5 billion to increase production to 300,000 tons by 2031. The move aligns with the broader wave of growth investments in Zambia’s copper industry in recent years. Zambia aims to raise national copper output to 3 million tons by 2031, up from 821,670 tons in 2024. Several mining companies have announced expansion projects to support this goal. Canada’s Barrick Mining plans to double output at its Lumwana mine through a US$2 billion investment, while China’s JCHX intends to inject US$300 million to extend the life of its Lubambe mine. At Konkola, Vedanta’s planned US$1.5 billion will add to the US$3 billion already invested in recent years. These investments are intended to boost production capacity and support Zambia’s long-term growth strategy at a time when global copper demand is rising due to the energy transition and the expansion of the artificial intelligence sector. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the copper supply deficit could reach 30% by 2035. Combined with recent supply chain disruptions, these trends position new and expanded mines as key contributors to future global supply, provided the announced investments materialise. Vedanta has not yet detailed how it plans to finance the new Konkola investment, even as it works to reduce debt and strengthen its balance sheet. For now, the company expects 140,000 tons of copper output from Konkola in its 2026 fiscal year. Nationally, Zambia targets 1 million tons of production this year. Want more stuff like this?

Clark And D.A. Everett To Lead $800M Carolina Panthers Nfl Stadium Revamp
Clark And D.A. Everett To Lead $800M Carolina Panthers Nfl Stadium RevampA joint venture between Clark Construction and D.A. Everett Construction will oversee the $800 million renovationof Bank of America Stadium, home of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, according to an announcement from Tepper Sports & Entertainment. Work is scheduled to begin in 2026 and conclude by 2030. The project will modernise the Charlotte, North Carolina venue, enhancing infrastructure, technology, and fan experience. Early phases will focus on electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC upgrades, with subsequent work including new seating, lighting, concessions, concourse improvements, upgraded audio and video systems, and exterior video boards for community events. A group viewing area will also be added in the upper bowl. Alongside the stadium renovation, the Panthers’ existing nine-acre practice field will be redeveloped to include a new indoor field house, to be delivered by Rodgers Builders and R.J. Leeper Construction, both Charlotte-based firms. CAA Icon will act as project manager and owner’s representative, while HOK, the original architect of Bank of America Stadium in the 1990s, will once again provide design services. The renovation is primarily financed through tourism tax revenue, which will cover 80% of the total cost. The Charlotte City Council approved the project in June 2024, later authorising $650 million in debt to move forward. As part of the city’s inclusion goals, 15% of construction work will go to minority-owned small businesses and 12% to women-owned firms. Both D.A. Everett Construction and R.J. Leeper Construction are minority-owned companies. In addition to hosting the Carolina Panthers, Bank of America Stadium is also home to Major League Soccer’s Charlotte FC.

Spurs Secure Funding For $1.3B Arena, Set Stage For Wemby’S Prime
Spurs Secure Funding For $1.3B Arena, Set Stage For Wemby’S PrimeThe Spurs are set to move to a new downtown area after San Antonio–area voters approved a county-level funding measure Tuesday.  Bexar County, Texas, voters passed a $311 million measure that will help fund a $1.3 billion arena at Hemisfair, a downtown location that was the site of the 1968 World’s Fair. Separately, the city of San Antonio will contribute $489 million, with that move not subject to a citizen vote, and the Spurs will pay $500 million, plus all cost overruns. The team also intends to bring in private partners for help with a mixed-use development surrounding the arena.  The long-discussed arena plan will allow the team to depart the 23-year-old Frost Bank Center, which is aging and increasingly does not have amenities offered in modern venues such as California’s Chase Center and Intuit Dome. “The community has spoken,” Spurs Sports and Entertainment chair Peter J. Holt said after the vote. “We love this city, we love this county, and the county and the city love us back.” That Bexar County vote, however, was close, with about 52% of voters supporting the measure in the face of significant opposition from a variety of corners. The county funds for the arena will come from hotel and rental car tax receipts, and the decision ends any possibility of the Spurs relocating to another market, such as Austin, where they have a G League team.  The Spurs intend to open their new arena sometime in the early 2030s. The current lease at Frost Bank Center expires in 2032. Once it opens, it will leave the 76ers as the only NBA team not playing in a downtown arena. That team struck a deal early this year with Comcast Spectacor to develop a new facility in the south Philadelphia sports complex to succeed Xfinity Mobile Arena.  The San Antonio facility issue is developing as Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama has started the season in torrid fashion. Wembanyama and Spurs legends such as Manu Ginóbili were part of heavy pro-arena messaging from the team leading up to the vote. The new venue should be ready for what could still very much be the prime of Wembanyama’s career. “I think about my future—and my present—all the time, in San Antonio, of course,” Wembanyama said about the arena vote. “And recently a little about the arena because it’s been a subject. … For all areas of my career, I’m very intentional. Even though some things take time [and] patience is needed, I’ve never been one to waste time.”

Long-Awaited £200M Lincoln Ring Road Completion To Go Ahead Following Government Sign-Off
Long-Awaited £200M Lincoln Ring Road Completion To Go Ahead Following Government Sign-OffThe secretary of state has approved the legal orders for the long-awaited North Hykeham Relief Road, clearing a key hurdle for Lincolnshire County Council to begin construction of a new dual carriageway that will complete a ring road around Lincoln. Councillors now expect to appoint a contractor in the coming months, with the choice due to be discussed by the council’s Highways and Transport Scrutiny Committee in December and voted on by the county executive in early January. If that timetable holds, work could begin early next year, according to the council. Balfour Beatty was appointed to a design and build contract for the road in 2022 through the Scape framework, but it now appears the council will be re-tendering for the job. The relief road will link the A46 Pennells Roundabout to the Lincoln Eastern Bypass and includes a series of new roundabouts — at South Hykeham Road, Brant Road and Grantham Road — together with bridges at Station Road and over the River Witham. Other elements include an extra arm and signals at the A46 Hykeham Roundabout, an A15 Sleaford Roundabout addition, a Wath Lane non-motorised user (NMU) crossing and a realignment of Viking Way. Lincolnshire County Council estimates the scheme will cost between £180M and £208M. North Hykeham relief road map Council highways executive member Michael Cheyne said the secretary of state’s approval was “fantastic news” that moved the project closer to construction and thanked the project team that worked through the public inquiry process. Proponents argue the road will help economic growth across the county, reduce congestion in North Hykeham and Lincoln, improve access to central Lincoln and enhance road safety. Opponents of similar schemes elsewhere have warned that new roads can encourage more traffic – a phenomenon known as induced demand – and underline the importance of complementary measures such as public transport improvements and active travel provision. The scheme includes NMU facilities intended to support walking and cycling. The relief road has been under consideration for around two decades. Initial route consultations took place in 2005 and 2006, with the preferred alignment established in 2006. In recent years the project secured preparatory funding, received a £110M Department for Transport allocation in November 2020. Planning permission was granted in May 2024 before legal orders were approved by the county executive in July. This year has seen a public inquiry held in July  and archaeological works since September. Cheyne said: “This is fantastic news for the North Hykeham Relief Road project and the people of Lincolnshire, since it means we’re one step closer to starting construction early next year as planned. “Now that we’ve been given the all clear by Government to move forward, the next step is to officially appoint a contractor. This will be a topic of discussion at our Highways and Transport Scrutiny Committee meeting in December, and then voted on by Executive in early January. “In the meantime, I want thank everyone involved in getting us to this stage – in particular, all of the project team involved in getting us through the public inquiry process. The Secretary of State’s decision to give the relief road the go-ahead is a testament to all the hard work they’ve put in up to this stage.” Like what you've read? To receive New Civil Engineer's daily and weekly newsletters click here.
