Octavius has been awarded the £15.5m Section 1A of the Chelmsford North East Bypass by
Essex County Council.

Octavius will design and construct a single carriageway in each direction linking two
roundabouts at Beaulieu Park enabling essential new housebuilding to commence.

Octavius Delivery Director for Highways Jamie Harrison added “We are delighted to have been selected to progress the first phase of this important and strategic highway project. It presents us another fabulous opportunity to continue our long-term working relationships with the Essex County Council and the local Essex communities and supply partners.
When all phases of the new bypass have been completed along with the new railway station at Beaulieu this essential infrastructure will be the catalyst for bringing people together and
improving lives. In doing so driving economic growth to the north of Chelmsford with much
needed new homes, new business space, quality open spaces and community facilities.”
