Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order authorises improvements to the A6 and A5111 Trunk Roads at Raynesway Park Junction in Derby. It provides for the removal of the existing roundabout and its replacement by a short length of new dual carriageway. This will provide a direct link between the A6 Alvaston Bypass and the A5111 Raynesway north of the roundabout. This Order also authorises the construction of three new slip roads linking the improved A6/A5111 with side roads to be built under a separate Side Roads Order. A fourth slip road will also be built. This does not appear in the Order because it falls entirely within the existing boundary of the trunk road.
