Regarding the recent junction improvement at the Westleigh junction/link road near Bideford in 2021, what was the total cost and who funded this, was it central government or Devon County Council?
Devon County Council does not hold this information because the costs are included in the overall North Devon Link Road (NDLR) project.
By way of providing advice and assistance, we estimate that the direct costs attributable solely to the junction improvement so far are £774,195. It should be noted that there will also be some post completion costs associated with the project, and therefore Westleigh junction.
The NDLR Project was awarded a £60.36M grant based on a total Project cost of £67.629M. The remaining balance between these figures will be paid either by Devon County Council or S106 contributions.
