The Duchy of Cornwall In conjunction with Cornwall Council and Network Rail open a new route, part and parcel of the King's new town, with 15 years of planning and construction completed. The road, costing well in excess of £20 million pounds is now open, forming an epic new route on the outskirts of Newquay, combining two new bridges faced in local granite and flanked by wildflower meadows and wetlands. The route enables traffic to bypass holiday bottlenecks at Trencreek and Quinterel Downs. Descending from the highest point in the district, the road cuts through fields and over the new, and still under construction, £60 million metro link, railway to Falmouth. The road route offers panoramic views over the town and the Nansledan valley. The local authority said the new road through King Charles' Nansledan will act as major bypass for Quintrell Downs and will help to reduce traffic in residential areas including Trencreek, while also supporting the local economy, improve residents' lives and new transport links in the area as well as enabling the construction of new homes and a new Household Waste and Recycling Centre opposite Hendra.
A spokesman says, "The whole area will have great connectivity via footpaths and cycle ways which will ultimately allow pedestrian access from Chester Road through to Quintrell Downs without having to walk down a main road.
"We were also shown the start of Market Street, which will feature a Market Hall, a supermarket, shops bars and restaurants. It is not just the road; it is everything else it has brought with it.
"There’s going to be wildlife ponds, streams, rivers, the wildlife habitat that will all come with it. It is going to be absolutely fantastic."

This major bypass for Quintrell Downs will help to reduce traffic in residential areas including Trencreek, while also supporting the local economy, improving residents' lives and providing new transport links in the area as well as enabling the construction of new homes.
