Gailey Freight Hub: Lorry every 15 SECONDS at West Midlands Interchange
Up to 9,000 lorries, cars and vans will travel to and from the proposed 700-acre interchange every day.
A lorry will enter or leave a proposed super rail freight hub every 15 seconds once fully running, it can today be revealed.
Up to 9,000 lorries, cars and vans will travel to and from the 700-acre West Midlands Interchange at Gailey every day by 2035, according to plans.
While bosses behind the huge multi-million pound project admit there will be more traffic on the roads, they claim delays for motorists will be ‘minimal’.
Developer Four Ashes Ltd is proposing to build a new public road through the site from a new roundabout on the A5 near Gailey Roundhouse and Marina to another new roundabout on A449 south of the Gailey Island.
The scheme promises to create 8,500 jobs and boost the region’s economy by £417m each year with 743,200 square metres of warehousing serving up to 10 freight trains a day.
