Octavius Infrastructure

Fully integrated, regionally focussed, delivered by partners who believe in - and live by – their community values. These are the transport infrastructure priorities we heard from combined authorities across the country gathered at 2026.

Regardless of region or political stripe the message from metro mayors was loud and clear, as they addressed potential partners to support growth and regeneration, using enhanced transport infrastructure as a principal enabler.

🏠 Housing development has always been closely synchronised with the planning of new transport infrastructure.

But the nature of that infrastructure is changing, with the need for increased resilience, sustainability and accessibility demanding increasingly sophisticated solutions. Surface access to new developments via road will always be part of the equation but many major housing projects are now giving as much – or even greater – precedence to multi-modal connectivity via a combination of road with integrated light rail, guided busways, walking and cycle provision.

Who’s driving this change? What kind of infrastructure do they envisage?

We're working towards a key milestone on the A376 Dinan Way extension project.

Read more about the project 👇

Temporary traffic lights which have been in place for the construction of the Dinan Way extension, will be cleared from the A376 on Friday 29 May to help ease traffic flow in and out of Exmouth during the summer.

The new Dinan Way extension will then open for use in September, with traffic being diverted onto the new road while construction of the new roundabout on the A376 is carried out.
