Towers have finally received the green light to build a bypass to build an overloaded village.
The construction of a bypass around Banwell in North Somerset was first proposed in 1927.
The North Somerset Council voted at a council meeting to publish the contractual partner Galliford.
Steve Bridger, the former council chairman, praised those who worked on the project.
“It was a very hard appearance,” he said. “Everything was thrown on them and they took a fantastic dealing with it.
“I am really thrilled, we have reached this phase and we will do it.”
Banwell was historically plagued by traffic. It is two A-Roads funnel traffic to the village, which has to go a single-track route at a point.
The Council's executive member, Mark Canniford, said they hope that the bypass will be open by 2027.
This will be exactly a century since Bypass was proposed for the first time in 1927.
He said: “Galliford attempt was active on the website up to this point and has carried out all environmental work and are now ready to get into this phase to construct.
“With the permission of this council and the support for this application … we will handle this phase and open this bypass behind us with a good wind by 2027.”
The project, finally approved in 2023was originally cost from GBP 66 million by the government interceptors.
But after major delays, Including the original contractor who is pulled out last yearThe costs have increased to 105.14 million GBP.
