Herefordshire Enterprise Zone will have Eastern Access Across the River Wye

It’s looking increasingly certain the Hereford Enterprise Zone at Rotherwas will have an Eastern river crossing as well as the planned Hereford Western bypass bringing the number of Wye crossing points to 5 within four miles of the City.

While there may be concerns from green campaigners, the access brought by a road on columns across the valley floor leading from Rotherwas  will take as much as 45 minutes off the journey time to the M5 Worcester South Junction 7.  Minimal damage will occur to wildlife as due to the flood plain the road will be a magnificent structure sitting around 5 metres off the vally floor well away from plants and animals including livestock in the fields below.

It will also give access out to Gloucester via the B4224 and serve for quick routes for local traffic on the under used lanes and B roads on the East of the City of Hereford.

This development could be delivered in as little as 3 years and should be seen as a serious development in infrastructure connectivity between the Herefordshire  Enterprise Zone and the Midlands.
