The JV will design and construct the remaining two junctions of the A52 at Nottingham Knight and Wheatcroft, as part of an A52 Improvement Project. 

The scheme is part of the UK Government’s Road Investment Strategy announced in 2014, to improve several junctions along the A52, including signalisation and reconstruction.
