:12:20. > :12:22.expensive to put in! Thanks to everyone who took the time
:12:23. > :12:25.to get in touch. The first stage of the new
:12:26. > :12:29.Kingskerswell Bypass at Newton Abbot has just opened to traffic. It's
:12:30. > :12:32.only a few hundred metres long, but will eventually stretch for almost
:12:33. > :12:35.four miles. The aerial footage gathered by the
:12:36. > :12:40.company building the new Sotth Devon Link Road certainly gives a new idea
:12:41. > :12:44.of the scale of this project. The new road should cut traffic
:12:45. > :12:50.congestion. But quite a few trees and hedges have disappeared along
:12:51. > :12:54.the way. We have lost a lind of cider apple trees that were planted
:12:55. > :13:00.back in the time. And we have lost the diversity of birds, obvhously.
:13:01. > :13:04.We have lost looking at a vhew across at the trees down on the car
:13:05. > :13:10.park. Because the bypass is actually higher than anticipated. So we did
:13:11. > :13:14.not realise we were going to lose quite as much. There is 5.5
:13:15. > :13:17.kilometres of new carriagew`y being constructed. And we are standing
:13:18. > :13:21.right in the middle of the new road. Over in this direction is Ndwton
:13:22. > :13:24.Abbot. And over here, Torqu`y. The company constructing thd new
:13:25. > :13:28.road said it has worked hard to compensate for the environmdntal
:13:29. > :13:31.disruption. The Smith familx had a brand`new house built, becatse
:13:32. > :13:35.theirs was in the way of thd road. And they have also got a new bat
:13:36. > :13:39.house in their back garden. There are special ledges for badgdrs and
:13:40. > :13:43.otters to clamber right unddr the carriageways. And bats have been
:13:44. > :13:49.considered all along the rotte as local authorities project m`nager

:13:52. > :13:54.bats are travelling through to their bats are travelling through to their
:13:55. > :13:59.feeding grounds. The site h`s to cope with two railway lines, as well
:14:00. > :14:04.as the existing road. But the project aims to be sustainable.
:14:05. > :14:06.Just behind me, you can see new foundations of a bridge over the
:14:07. > :14:10.railway. Over here is the processing of material. Brought here,
:14:11. > :14:14.reprocessed and finally, ovdr on the new tunnel, they are reusing that
:14:15. > :14:19.material. The team building the road says it will carry 35,000 c`rs a day
:14:20. > :14:23.from the end of 2015. Traffhc jams should end and air quality should
:14:24. > :14:26.improve. The road has taken 50 years to plan. But not everyone is
:14:27. > :14:36.convinced it has been better for the environment.
:14:37. > :14:40.So concern from some about the loss of trees. But the company btilding
:14:41. > :14:44.the road has told Spotlight 750 trees have already been planted on
