Tesco Haverhill – Case Study

At Waterman Boreham I was project manager responsible for the highway works associated with the provision of a new Tesco store.

The works included the diversion of the A143 through the Tesco site, the provision of two new roundabouts and the conversion of part of the A143 to a shared surface.

The main emphasis of the scheme was to provide a pedestrian friendly link between the new store and town centre.
