In October 2008 Arup was commissioned by the Tees Valley Joint Strategy Unit (TVJSU), on behalf of Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Councils, to undertake some further investigations into future options for the East Middlesbrough Transport Corridor (EMTC) as the Councils seek a prompt resolution to the absolute strategic need for the project.

The EMTC begins at the A171 Swan’s Corner Roundabout in Nunthorpe, crossing a field, cutting through Rothesay Grove and Hambleton Hill and bridging the Esk Valley Railway Line to connect to Stainton Way in Middlesbrough. There is then a proposed northwards connection on the eastern side of the railway line from the Stainton Way Extension to the A174(T) Parkway, B1380 Ladgate Lane and A1085 Longlands Road.
