Winvic starts £107m infrastructure job for logistics hub

Winvic Construction is starting main infrastructure works for a 450-acre multi-modal logistics hub located next to junction 15 of the M1.

Once complete, the SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton Gateway will comprise 5m square feet of industrial facilities alongside a new strategic rail freight interchange.

The infrastructure works alone are worth £107m to Winvic and will sustain around 120 jobs.

These include infrastructure works for the 35-acre rail freight interchange, new rail connections and major improvements to the strategic road network.

Winvic will work in partnership with Highways England, Network Rail and local authorities to deliver major upgrades to Junctions 15 and 15a on the M1, a new bridge over the West Coast Mainline, the construction of a bypass around Roade, improvements to the A45 and safer junctions along the A508.

Furthermore, Winvic will undertake an extensive landscaping programme with over 80 acres of parkland, 18km of footpaths and cycleways, 20km of hedgerows and the planting of 60,000 new trees.

The first plots are scheduled to be ready for construction to start in late 2021 and infrastructure works are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2023.
