Carriageway land purchases issued
The iron bridge on Goss Moor
The dualling will bypass the area's notorious Iron Bridge
The final compulsory purchase orders are being issued for the long-awaited A30 dualling at Goss Moor in Cornwall.

The Highways Agency is serving notices on landowners and occupiers to create a seven-mile stretch of dual carriageway.

Anyone whose property is affected by the plans between Bodmin and Indian Queens has six weeks to appeal.

Some environmentalists have criticised the �69m scheme, saying it could wipe out rare species of flora and fauna in the area.

The dualling will bypass a single lane stretch of the road on Goss Moor which connects two dualled sections.

The plans aim to ease congestion around the Iron Bridge, a notorious accident blackspot.

It is expected to take two years to complete the scheme.
