Well, there’s a surprise. It seems that the AWPR won’t open after all during the winter of 2017/2018 as promised.
Given the collapse of one of the main contractors Carillion and snags during the course of the project many people were always doubtful that deadline could be met.
The spring of this year was being mooted as a likely opening, but now I hear there is talk of a partial opening during the summer. Time will tell.
