 mbridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme is currently the largest road con
 struction project in the UK and at a cost of £1.5b is one the most expens

  will transform what has been a well-known congestion problem in Cambridge
 shire that goes back to the 1980s.\n\nMike Evans has been involved with th
 e current scheme and its forerunners since the early 2000s\; he will talk

  and previous cancellations\, the work done on alternative modes of transp
 ort and the other parallel pieces of infrastructure that have been built t
 o support the road. He will also cover the development of the current sche
 me design and the legal process to obtain powers to acquire land and start
  construction.\n\nJulian Lamb\, a Director for the A14 Integrated Delivery
  Team (a joint venture between Costain\, Skanska\, Balfour Beatty\, Atkins
  & Jacobs)\, will talk through the construction programme and the main cha
 llenges that the contractors have faced in building this extensive scheme.
