Oxford to Cambridge Expressway response

The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership responds to yesterday’s announcement (12 September) on Highways England’s preferred route for the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway.

Highways England yesterday announced that Corridor B is their preferred route. More information can be found on their website.

Nigel Tipple Chief Executive of OxLEP said: “Working with partners we will be reflecting on this announcement in the coming weeks and reviewing what it really means for the county – as well as the wider region – in consultation with the Oxfordshire Growth Board partners and local authorities.

“As a business-led organisation we are keen to explore the potential opportunities arising from the identified corridor for both our business community and wider-UK economy.

“We will continue to engage with Highways England – along with Growth Board partners – to understand the timetable for the projectnow that the preferred corridor has been announced.”
