Sinfin: Proposed new junction cost rises to £70m
Work on the new junction had been due to start in 2023 and be complete this year, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.However, since the project was granted planning approval in 2021 it has been left in limbo for more than two years.The scheme links in with Infinity Garden Village plans, which have been decades in the making.A Derbyshire County Council spokesperson said: "We continue to work with our partners as this infrastructure project remains a priority, bringing forward up to 4,500 new homes and 3.45 million sq ft of new commercial floorspace."However, as can often be the case with large construction projects, the delivery programme has experienced delays and we are awaiting confirmation from government that the revised timescales are agreed."Inflation has also impacted the estimated cost of the project so the news that the East Midlands Combined County Authority is proposing to contribute £1.5m towards the scheme is very welcome and will help keep the work progressing."
