CIHT- A66 Northern Trans=Pennine Project

The A66 plays an essential role for journeys across the north of England. It provides the most direct connection between the eastern side of England and the central belt of Scotland. It connects cities like Leeds, Sheffield and Norwich to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Lorries and freight transport rely on the A66, providing access to industrial estates, farms and quarries along the route and across the country. It is important for ports such as Stranraer, Teesport, Hull and Felixstowe. Over 28,000 journeys are made using the A66 every day, a quarter of which are lorries.
