Wessex Archaeology continue to build on their road projects portfolio and are pleased to report the following.

Balfour Beatty and Scott Wilson have announced the appointment of Cotswold Wessex Archaeology (CWA) as the joint venture Archaeological Contractor for the A46 Newark to Widmerpool Improvement Scheme.

Scott Wilson (the Designer) and Balfour Beatty (the Contractor) will be working very closely with CWA to ensure the highest standards of archaeological works, delivered within the project's tight time-scales and budgets. CWA intend to start immediately on a number of fronts with trial trenching, strip, map and sample excavation and detailed excavation (at Margidunum).

We are delighted to have been appointed and very much look forward to working with Balfour Beatty, Scott Wilson and Cotswold Archaeology.
