  一个村庄的村民因交通堵塞而“奄奄一息”,他们说,在等待了100年后,一条旁路终于开通了,这让他们感到震惊。

  萨默塞特郡的班威尔几十年来一直遭受严重的交通拥堵,这使得该中心对3200名居民来说基本上是一个“禁区”。

  这个曾经繁荣的社区已经失去了几十家商店,健康研究也显示,小学生中与呼吸有关的健康问题的比例更高。

  但现在,这条期待已久的绕行道路的规划许可和资金已经获得,有望在2026年3月全面通车。

  班威尔的一些终身居民说,他们从未想过会看到这一天——许多人说,他们的亲戚早在1927年就参与了最初的求婚。

  79岁的当地历史学家罗伊·赖斯(Roy Rice)一生都住在这个村子里,他说:“我的叔叔沃利·理查兹(Wally Richards) 11岁的时候帮助进行了调查,并制定了最初的旁路计划。”

  1927年的情况完全不同。从那时起,它将在99年后终于开放。他已经不在我们身边了,但我相信他会很惊讶我们在将近100年后还在谈论它。

  “这将给村子带来巨大的变化,当这条支路开通时,我们肯定会举办一个盛大的派对。”我们很清楚这不是为我们建造的,但这对班威尔来说也不是坏事。”

  北萨默塞特议会在上周的一次会议上一致投票赞成这项价值5650万英镑的合同,最终批准了这条两英里长的旁路。

  该计划已获批准的资金总额为8920万英镑,其中包括顾问、公用事业和应急资金等费用。

  研究显示,拟建的绕行路线可使该村的交通量减少78%。

  罗伊先生补充说:“这些年来,我们提出了三到四条不同的路线。原来的路线离村子近得多。

  “两害相权取其轻。”

  “班威尔失去了很多商店,因为你不能停在那里,市中心大约有30-40家商店。”

  “这里有很多工业和商业,有酿酒厂、磨坊、铁匠。它曾经是一个繁荣的地区。

  当他们关闭时,没有人愿意接受他们。希望这条旁路能给村庄中心带来生机。”

  58岁的保罗·哈丁是班威尔教区议会的副主席,他说修建这条公路有很多障碍,包括缺乏政治意愿、资金问题和农民最初的反对。

  哈丁先生补充说:“这个过程始于1927年。为什么花了这么长时间,这是一个非常好的问题。

  他说,当局最初并不想绕过这条通道。在20世纪60年代,他们推倒了房屋,推倒了铁路桥,为卡车打开了道路。

  “交通变得更糟了。有一段时间,他们不想要它,因为他们不想要与之配套的房子。”

  85岁的沃利·赖斯(Wally Rice)也是一名前议员,一生都住在班威尔,他说:“我很惊讶这种事发生在我的有生之年。”

  “我记得第一次讨论这个话题是在我还是个学生的时候,大约17岁。我也是一名议员,这件事经常被提及。人们讨论了这件事,但那些管理委员会的人当时并不想这么做。

  “这不是一个完美的解决方案,但比我们目前的情况要好得多。”

  尽管大多数人支持这一计划,但一些居民对它能否产生重大影响表示怀疑。

  班韦尔82岁的埃里克·斯莫尔补充说:“我是村里少数人的观点,我怀疑它能起多大作用。”对我来说,更大的问题是体重和尺寸限制没有强制执行。

  “通往班威尔的路上车辆都很拥挤。如果他们不穿过小村庄,他们就会直接穿过小农场。它将摧毁和分裂农场,使它们无法生存。”
