3D videos offer new views of relief road
Saturday 24th April 2010, 11:00AM BST.
People will be given a chance to “fly over” or “drive on” Shrewsbury’s proposed North West Relief Road, as part of the public consultation into the controversial plans.
Shropshire Council is giving people the chance to check out what the £102 million bypass would look like as part of a consultation, which was launched earlier this month.
The 3D videos, which can be viewed at the exhibitions and online at www.shropshire.gov.uk/hwmaint.nsf offer people the chance to see the road in a completely different way.
The proposed road comes to life in the videos, people are taken along the route and popular landmarks are highlighted.
Martin Allard, Shropshire Council’s head of major projects, said: “It is often difficult to visualise how something will look from plans and drawings, so this offers people a great opportunity to see the road come to life.”
The first of a series of consultation exhibitions started at The Gateway in Shrewsbury on Thursday and more will be held until the consultation ends on May 14.
Mr Allard said the road could help cut congestion within Shrewsbury town centre. The road would run from the A5 at Churncote Island to the western end of the Battlefield Link Road.
For more information on the consultation, people can e-mail nwrr.consultation @shropshire.gov.uk or call 0345 6789006.
