Cost inflation stalls £65m Carlisle Southern Link Road

Cumbria County Council and Morgan Sindall have parted ways after failing to agree a final construction price on the £65m Carlisle Southern Link Road project.
The council has now decided to retender the project in an attempt to bring the 8km road scheme in on budget.
It is the largest live road project so far to be stalled by industry-wide cost inflation.
Also the latest delay will be a major setback for a planned major housing scheme in the region, vital to the growth of Carlisle.Carlisle
