Option B - Eastern section (B4079 / Seven Bends junction to Teddington Hands roundabout)

Option B comprises a new roundabout junction with the B4079 in the Seven Bends area (to the north of the existing A435 / B4079 junction); the new A46 would take an offline route (away from the existing road) to the west of the A435. It would cross the Tirle Brook flood zone on an embankment before connecting to the existing A46 at a new roundabout junction to the west of Teddington Hands roundabout. The section of the A46 between the two roundabouts would be upgraded to dual carriageway and Teddington Hands roundabout would be upgraded.
